I've got a friend in Wellington whose father was one of the pilots who flew those Solent flying-boats for TEAL on trans-Tasman services as well as on the Coral Route across the South Pacific to Tahiti. His Dad (who is still alive and living in Australia) also flew Douglas DC-6 airliners, Lockheed Electras, DC-8s and DC-10s for TEAL/Air NZ before he retired. He was the captain of the last DC-10 sightseeing service to Antarctica and return the weekend before the flight which crashed on Mount Erebus.
