Cheers I'm pleased you enjoyed it. This was the last leg of a long journey from the UK, the wonderful sights below made me excited about the three weeks exploring we were about to embark on.
oké,thanks Tim,i was see also the same route with Alex Dent with hese family and kids,here them talk. oh the left wing for the flaps was not so good,it was heavy shaking.i have see this more on these planes.
Great video ! air travel is very common now a days, but one feels the excitement, fear & uncertainty while leaving & touching the ground. Isn't it Tim ? and once in the air, all petty, small things are left behind, (for a while ,😊). It's blue skies & water with very little land mass in the southern hemisphere.... Enjoyed the vitual experience. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Anjali, it is with a sense of trepidation I board the plane at one of London's airports bound for New Zealand, knowing that I am going to be sitting in a cramped seat for the next 24 to 30 hours, but I always enjoy the last, much shorter flight to my final destination, partly because I know my journey is almost complete and also the view from the window is much more interesting. It still fascinates me that I can board a plane on a grey windy day in the UK, yet in no time at all the plane climbs through the clouds to a magical world of sunshine and blue skies.
Timsvideochannel1 I had read a book on the great explorer Francis Chichester, how he repairs his small aircraft Gypsy Moth & makes a flight through Pacific, to New Zealand & Islands. Without modern communications, just wonder how it must have been !!!!!. Just wanted to share my thoughts.
Hi Anjali, this link makes interesting reading - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Chichester When I was very young my parents took me to Portsmouth to see Sir Francis Chichester sail his boat into the harbour. I was too young to remember much about it, but at the time we lived in the city of Chichester on the South Coast of England. I have massive respect for explores and pioneers such as Sir Francis, but the one that really fascinates me is James Cook. These explorers were the original Adrenalin junkies, they seamed to thrive on the danger of the unknown. Cook was ship wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef, with the ship sinking one of the crew suggested diving under the ship, wrapping a sail over the gaping hole. It worked and they made it to shore where they met the indigenous people and somehow managed to persuade them the cut down trees to help repair the boat. I wish I been taught about these people in history lessons at school, instead we learned about the Kings and Queens of Europe, they were no where near as interesting as explorers.
Thanks Tim for sharing the link & some insight about Sir Francis & James Cook. It was a privilege to have seen him personally 😊. You are right, they were real heros... totally fearless. I have read about Sir Ernest Shackelton's expeditions too..All that was in the last century, when virtual world was non existent. Thanks. Have a great weekend.
I read the airport is building a new control tower. I couldn't quite believe it seeing in your video the current control up a hill in a residential area outside the airport perimeter!
Hello Edward, I am pleased you enjoyed it. This flight is one of my favourites, the view shortly after take off over Sydney is spectacular, as are the sights over New Zealand's South Island and the landing at Wellington is always an experience, especially if the wind is even stronger than usual, although on this occasion the crew made a near perfect touchdown,
I still have a few more New Zealand videos to upload. Those that I have posted can be found by clicking on this link - th-cam.com/play/PLPdTWbkwx85pX8Zcf80fh3B2ggr_O_hLB.html
Well, that's the best way to get "across the ditch" between Sydney Australia and Wellington NZ. The alternative method would result in a pair of very sore arms! LOL
I'm too old row that far. The flight from Oz to NZ is one I always look forward to, as it is the last flight of a long journey and I know I will soon meet up with my son and his family who I only get to see every 18 months or so.
I wasn't talking about rowing a boat... I was talking about flapping the arms(wings) LOL. Just my mad humour at work(working overtime, perhaps!). Cheers, Tim!
Watching your video makes me feel to pack my bag and go for vacation. Amazing sharing.
Hi, I know how you feel, I wish I was packing for a new adventure too, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂.
Wow! thanks for the opportunity to see this!

Yup. It's the only control tower in the world with a residential address.
It's certainly an eye catching building and according to this article it is the 5 control tower to be built - www.zipworld.com.au/~frankp/oldtowers/
very good viewing great to see wellington again

Good day Tim
Yes I have had some very rough trips into wellington as well as its always good to get down.
I do enjoy your clips etc.
Thank you
Edward
Hello Edward, it's nice to know you enjoy some of my video clips and I appreciate your comments. Tim.
hope to see more of your travels in NZ.
I still have a few more New Zealand videos to upload. Those that I have posted can be found by clicking on this link - th-cam.com/play/PLPdTWbkwx85pX8Zcf80fh3B2ggr_O_hLB.html
nice and cruisy, which seat number and how was the window?
You've got me there, I can't remember the seat number for sure, but I think it might have been A21 and the window was good.
awesome cheers!
Does all the seats have USB ports?
I don't think so, it is only a short flight, they are not nessassary.
Timsvideochannel1 I’m flying Wellington to Sydney
@@binchickenstoleyourchips I hope you enjoy your flight, the view from the window is awesome.
Timsvideochannel1 it will be my second time flying to Sydney, third to Aussie. First Jetstar, then Virgin and Now Air NZ. Thank you 👏😊
