An Era comes to an end in KSA

After 15 years living and working in Riyadh ,Saudi Arabia for BAe Systems i finally departed Riyadh (OERK) on board Emirates flight EK818 Boeing 777 A6-EMQ on Wednesday 30th April bound for a 10 hour stay over in Dubai (DXB) before jumping on Emirates flight EK406 on A.380 A6-EDA their oldest in the fleet and flying to Melbourne for possibly to be only for 2 hours!!!!
However owing to a fuel devise problem we departed 2 hours later and headed off to Auckland (AKL) on my final flight destination landing on the 2nd May and to start my new life and career in New Zealand. So i would like to thank everyone who took time to look at my posts from Saudi Arabia and I thank you for your interest in a country where taking pictures is hard at the best of times but i wanted to portray that aviation in Saudi is increasing and if any one does visit Saudi Arabia,i fully recommend visiting Jeddah and Riyadh Airports as both are increasing in aircraft traffic .

So now all my blog posts will be focused on Tauranga and the surrounding areas of the Bay of Plenty airfields in the East side of North Island so please take a look at what New Zealand can pleasantly offer in the aviation world.,especially in war-bird restoration.
