Founder Nels_Anderson Posted February 29 Founder Share Posted February 29 New Zealand's 1st Licensed Airline, Air Travel (NZ) By Frank's MS Flight Sim Much loved and respected Bert Mercer started New Zealand's first licensed airline with his De Havilland Fox Moth in 1934 servicing the rugged, west coast of NZ's South Island. His airline, Air Travel (NZ) Ltd, grew in scope and popularity, and provided valuable service during WW2. It ceased operations when subsumed by NZ's nationalization of its airlines in 1947. Mercer himself died tragically as a passenger in one of his own aircraft in 1944. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers. Frank's MS Flight Sim https://www.youtube.com/@FranksMSFlightSimulator About Frank's MS Flight Sim New channel begun in 2021. Visit notable airfields and areas in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). Themes so far include: WW2; Bush/Mt./Water/Outback strips; “Golden Oldie” strips; heritage/vintage strips; and aircraft accident investigations. More different themes to come. Expect a new video roughly each week. Provides brief, interesting information, often with history, geography, maps, pictures etc, and great places to fly in MSFS. Focus is on interesting content rather than production values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
