Full Description

WELLINGTON AIRPORT. A survey of events over the years which led to the opening of Wellington Airport. A triumph of engineering involving the removal of a hill into the sea, the airport cuts a bay-to-bay swathe across the capital's residential area. The film shows that as far back as 1913 New Zealanders were building and flying aircraft and that the old Rongotai airfield became inadequate for the growing traffic. It concludes with the spectacular air pageant which marked the official opening.
