Camera had a lot of trouble trying to focus with the dark cloudy conditions.

[@randyminnick5031]

Thank you for all the "big iron" and old biplanes! You made my day!

[@GBlanchy]

Hey, your welcome Cheers

[@katherineaustin1548]

Beautiful country and remarkable video. Thanks!

[@GBlanchy]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!.

[@MarsFKA]

Only one engine sounds like a Griffon. Great intro.

[@CanadianGrenadian]

What an excellent air & ground display

[@fatbudgiekillen8997]

We arrived in New Zealand,but due to a series of events, didn't get to Omaka. This makes watching your video even better. Thanks for posting.

[@GBlanchy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bigjumpalan7417]

Beautifull Spit Mk XIV and Mk IX. Thank you.

[@GBlanchy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CharlieHorse221]

I was there , was a fabulous weekend so cool to see it again, thanks for sharing

[@GBlanchy]

Thanks, only decided to go last minute I had to sleep in my truck for the night just outside the airport.

[@SeargentBarnes]

That Yak @ 8:30 is bloody quick

[@MGAviationNZAircraftVideos]

Absolutely amazing

[@howardbull9001]

The Merlin always sounds far nicer that the Griffin.

[@majfbr4742]

ESPETACULAR! PARABÉNS!!!!

[@wadeconnell1493]

Incredible...aerobatics from classics. Not touch and go!!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

Holy crap there's a whole lot of nice stuff down there & what an impressive display! Good video M8!

[@GBlanchy]

Why thankyou.

[@Psychedelic_TimeTraveller86]

Awesome nice collection of planes on display .👍🍻

[@GBlanchy]

Thanks

[@LULEKOSO]

O show aéreo mais bonito que eu já assisti. Ele é bem cênico e de época. As máquinas voadoras são espetáculares . Muito mais bonito que os show's aéreos americanos. Parabéns do Brazil.

[@susanbutler2498]

BLOODY WONDERFUL, gutted we could not afford to go down this year Ay!!! At 25.43 minutes in, who else spotted the "Lewis Gun'' that was really a dressed up SLR L1A1 .308 ? : ) PS, a Rolls-Royce Merlin sounds much SWEETER than R-R Griffon by far!

[@MarsFKA]

I spotted the "Lewis gun" on the day; when the gunner was changing magazines instead of a drum. That's okay, though; working Lewis guns are in short supply these days and those re-enactors put on a good show. The bangs from the field guns and the ground explosions were a lot louder than in any of the videos of the air show that I've seen posted.

[@soundknight]

8:20 the fire coming out of that Russian radial was my favourite bit.

[@JasSta76]

Haha that was the smoke flares lightin' up. Made me look twice!

[@GBlanchy]

Sanders smoke generators, sometimes they catch on fire when turning on the smoke..

[@gerrydepp8164]

This is on my bucket list - hopefully next year if there is one...Cheers and thanks!

[@hotyacht88]

Airshow is held every 2 years

[@GBlanchy]

It will be Wanaka Warbirds next Easter.

[@firebaldey1]

the child saying wow around 30:29 says a good time was had by all !

[@VonSchlagHeld-jc3ci]

Tolles video👍 -Motorstart für Stahlgewitter ist wie ein wütendes Wolfserwachen!😮

[@GBlanchy]

Das stimmt 👍

[@stevemiller2210]

Looking good Marty

[@williamolivadoti3867]

Wow!

[@erichalter3344]

même si la météo ne fut pas au top, ce sont de superbe images, merci pour la mise en ligne, j'ai énormément apprécié

[@GBlanchy]

Merci à toi 👍

[@robertrouleau1000]

@@GBlanchy J'ai aussi grandement apprecie. Prises de vues superbes!

[@victoriagorman3708]

Good video what was your favourite thing there I loved bkn piper cub

[@GBlanchy]

Generally anything ww2 related.

[@noooby100]

When talking about the Spit XIV doing a cuban 8, the commentator says "he will look like he's doing a loop" but wasn't Liz flying the Spit XIV? Last time I checked, she is in fact a woman. Or was Liz not flying it that day?

[@GBlanchy]

Good listening, looks like you’re onto me and my trick editing. Both pilots went up in the spit XIV I just added the flights together.. Also that’s the Mk IX when she’s talking..

[@aviation4life640]

What’s the story with that P-40? Never seen it before.

[@GBlanchy]

One of two kittyhawks part of the John Smith collection out of Nelson, still in its original wartime paint..

[@vrosi1963]

Is the Mosquito , going to be going to Avspec for a new airframe , glad the family have let them be preserved and hope the p40s are fliers soon,

[@GBlanchy]

No. They will leave it as is.

[@rpurdey]

So what do we call #33? A "Yak-5FN"? 😂

[@GBlanchy]

Yak 3U-R2000

[@rpurdey]

@G Blanchy Well. That's what it is. It looks like they're presenting it as an La-5FN hence my "Yak-5FN" comment. I thought it was funny. Oh, well.

[@ivanpli]

At 6:03, is this the real "Gloria Lyons"?

[@GBlanchy]

No the real “Gloria Lyons” is at 5:51

[@ivanpli]

@@GBlanchy Thanks. That’s what I meant, 5:51, sorry.

[@d34nh177]

​@@ivanpli Yeah I was pretty pleased to see the real Gloria Lyons too, very cool. It'd also be neat to see a Wairarapa wildcat wouldn't it?

[@vrosi1963]

I see one of the P40N that was recovered from the private collection in a barn at the start screen shot but don't see anything in the video ???

[@GBlanchy]

It’s at 5:50

[@vrosi1963]

will the recovered P40N be a flyer or just static?

[@GBlanchy]

A few months ago I was invited in for a closer look and was told just static but when I was filming at the show I over heard that It will fly again by one of the guys pulling it out of the hanger. So I’m not sure what to believe, if it does I hope they keep the original paint..

[@vrosi1963]

Excellent , thanks @@GBlanchy

[@larrysmith6797]

It's "Get Outdoors" not "Get Outdoor"

[@GBlanchy]

Yesss, been waiting along time for someone to make a comment on that, was originally a typo then I thought bugger it I will leave there until someone makes a comment on it and that’s when I will make new intro 😂
