1953 Air race recalled by NZ cameraman

Seven planes swooped in to land at Christchurch and 10 movie cameras whirred into action. The cameras recorded on celluloid the end of the world's longest and last Great Air Race, from Heathrow to Harewood, in 1953. The winning plane's feat of flying from London to Christchurch in less than 24 hours was a triumph of aviation, coming just 50 years after the first recorded flight. (www.stuff.co.nz) Más...
