I recall similar scenes at Westport airport at that time.Heather, my book entitled BIRCHFIELD Industrial Hub of the Buller 1880’s - 1930’s is on sale. You showed interest some time back and asked me to let you know when it was available. Cheers, Ray

Remember being at Stillwater on holiday at that time and the train went through with the Queen on it. All the carriages were gleaming.

Heard a wonderful story about Prince Phillip coming down to Revingtons and having a nightcap and just wanting to relax with a few local people! Such a lovely chap I was lead to believe

Watched the train pass home and also the motor boat on the river so the royal couple would not notice the twists in the rail on the Omoto Viaduct.
