Ashburton’s cyclist Donald Sutton is
hoping he doesn’t have to change gears in
his race thisSaturday.Hewill have to get
off his 1936 woodenrimmed wheels and
movethe chain himself to adifferentcog.
It is one of the joys of riding aroad bike
that is almost85years old.
Donald and fellow cyclists Brent
Kircher and Ross Templeton will all be
riding old bikes in the final of the Mid
Canterbury Social Wheelers’ winter
series.
Brent will be on a1950 Arnst Special
and Ross will ride a1975 Italianmade
Gios.
Donald said getting the old bikes out for
ablastwas afun waytoend the series. All
three will start together with the main
packleaving them plenty of space.
The winter series ride is a16km out and
back course on Fords Road, andDonald
and his mates would usually cut it out in
25 minutes. They expect to be onlyfive
minutes longer on their old road cycles.
The 1950 Arnst Special was ridden by
Bruce Arnst in an illustrious cycling
careerthat spanned 50 years; he lastrode
the bike in 2000.

theNew Zealand junior road
champion’s title.Brucehas great
memoriesofthe race, which also

‘‘The bike’s done thousandsof
miles, including at masters games,’’
Bruce said.

whichwere used in the early days
until thefirst aluminium rims
appeared at the1934 TourdeFrance.
Wooden rimsstayed aroundthough,
withthe bestriders still using them
as late as 1951.
He said there was agrowing
interestaroundthe world in old road
cycles, with specialracesevenin
NewZealand. In Saturday’s race he
willbewearingaretro woollen jersey

Authentic Neapolitan pizza at Giovanni’s
MICK.JENSEN
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz
New Allentonpizzeria
Giovanni's is offering ataste of
authentic Neapolitanstyle
pizza.
Gourmetpizzas aremade in a
woodfiredoven andcome with
arangeofingredients, a
number of which are sourced
from Italy.
Thepizza menu include a
margherita, quattro formaggi
(four cheese),funghi
(mushroom), pepperoni, hot
diavolaand other options.
Giovanni’s Pizzeria is the
brainchild of businesscouple
John andAnna McDonald,who
opened neighbouring Harrison
Street fish restaurant Docks
Bar &Seafood Grill in June.
Mr McDonald said Giovanni’s
had beendue to open ayear
ago, but drawn out issues witha
potential staff member’s
working visa, andthen the
covid situation, haddelayed
things.
The search for an
experiencedpizzachef had
been ongoing and he was
delighted to have finally landed
one.
Brazilianborn Thiago Pires
had 10 years experience
working withpizzasand had a
puristapproach andpassionfor
his craft, said Mr McDonald.
Giovanni’s had enjoyed a
‘‘soft’’ opening over thepast two
weekstotestsystems andthe
response had beenextremely
positive.
‘‘We’ve had feedback from
people who have eatenpizzas
in Italy andinItalian run
restaurants elsewhere, and the
overwhelmingresponse has
beenabig thumbs up.’’
Mr McDonald said mostofthe
ingredients for the pizzas were
Italian made and of the highest
quality.
Neapolitanpizza had avery
thin crust at the base, with
dough that puffedup around
the sides.
The specialised pizzaoven is
firedupto450 degrees Celsius
and uses kilndriedbeech.
Pizzas made from scratch can
be ready to eat in five minutes
and up to five at atimecan go in
the oven.
Pizzas can be eaten in or
taken away.
Mr McDonald said Giovanni’s
would offer adeliveryservice
in the future,but not in the
current economic climate.
It would also look to expand
its menu to include pasta and
gnocchi and would look to add a
liquor licence.
Those wantingtoenjoy abeer
or wine with their pizza could
elect to eat it next door at
Docks, whichheowned, and
which had alicence.
Pizzascome in aclassic 30cm
size and are suitable for oneor
two people.
Giovanni’s Pizzeria is open
Tuesday,Wednesday and
Sundayfrom 5pm until 9pm,
andThursday, Friday and
Saturday from 5pm until 10pm.

Fatima
ReviewedbyRowenaHart
Recently it was the hundredth anniversary
of the time that three shepherd children of
Fatima,Portugal,saw the Virgin Mary in 1917.
At the time this caused chaos in the family.
Their mother didn’t believe them, and when
others in their little village heard their story
they were prettynegativeaswell.
But when others heard about itthey flocked
to the placeonthe hillside where thechildren
sawMary.
And today it is estimated thatsome 4-5 million
people visit the Fatima shrine eachyear.
The countryside ofFatima was beautiful, and
the filmingbrilliant.

up with jobs in the new
building.
Thefundsare available

programmeand libraries can
apply for funds to cover both

librarians forupto21 months.
Library manager Jill Watson
said if the National Library
gave approval, thethreewould
be employed on fixed term

currently employs 6.6 fulltime
equivalent staff.

Hamish Riach said thefunds

‘‘As we move to the new
library, we may well havea
need or council may approve
additionalresources given the

Bridge business case nearly ready
The business casefor asecondbridgeover
the Ashburton River should be complete
by September 24.
AshburtonDistrictCouncil staff and
consultants havebeenworking on the case
for monthstomake sure it meets funding
criteriawhenthe time comes to source
funds.
TheProvincial Growth Fund(PGF) gave
$94,000 for thebusiness case work and is a
potential funder.
Asecondurbanbridge at Chalmers
Avenue has beenestimatedat$30 million
and could reduce State HighwayOne peak
traffic by 40 per cent.
Council will pay20per centofthe cost
of the bridge butthe balance of the
fundingisnot clear.Itwas proposedasa
shovelready project as part of
governmentcovid stimuluspackage,but
councilhas notyet heard back if it has
beenaccepted.
The draft business case will be before
councillorsfor review at theirmeetingon
September 24 and afinalversion then
forwarded to NZTA.
Chief executive HamishRiach said the
business casewas part of the process to
get funding for the bridge through the
PGF butitcouldn’t finalise the
application until the businesscase was
done.
Council mighthavetorevisit its
position, including its 20 per cent

Shop around for power prices, says lines boss
EA Networks chief executive
Roger Sutton
EA Networkschief executive
Roger Sutton says thatsome
residents in Mid Canterbury
arepaying higherpower
prices than theyshould be.
He said data from the
Ministry of Business
Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) showedretailer
margins appeared high
comparedtoother regions.
‘‘Data from MBIE suggests
that on average power
retailersinMid Canterbury
areoffering energyprices that
are13to24per centhigher
than our neighbouring regions
and the New Zealand average.
‘‘We arefrustrated that our
low residential line charges
are not always clearly passed
on to customers in our network
region.’’
He said thebestthing
customers could do is to shop
aroundand look for the best
deal. ‘‘Go to Powerswitch or
another comparison website
and see what'sout there it's
easy to getabetter deal.’’
Comparisonsites take the
information customers
provide about how they use
electricity,plus information
from their bill (if they provide
it) and estimate howmuch
energy householdswill use in
ayear. Usingthisestimate,
customers can compare the
different pricingplans
available andidentify the
cheapest.
EA Networks will be starting
amarketingcampaign to
highlightwhich electricity
retailersavailable in Mid
Canterburyoffer someofthe
lowestcosts on average.

Well-being,Preparation and Prevention
In my last musings Ispoke of personal wellbeing,
preparation and prevention -all things
that need regular visiting to maintain an overall
wellness.
One thing that young people don’t realise fully,
is that regular investment in maintenance can
save time, money and mental stress inthe long
run. Whether that begetting your car serviced,
painting the houseormanaging your finances.
At the time of writingthisarticle themajority of ourYear9students have
had aclass-by-class presentation on oral health. The balance ofYear 9
classes willhavethe same presentation beforetermend.
Acoupleofpointswere really highlightedduring these sessions where
things are falling short. The first observation made by the oral health
presenters wasthataconsiderable number of students arenot looking
aftertheir teeth properly on adaily basis–hopefully,having taken part
in the presentation, that will improve.
The second was around the fact that aserious number were not aware
that dental care was generally free up until the age of eighteen. What
was evident was that many had not registered with adental clinic
perhapsbecause,prior to arrivalatCollege,the dentalteam oftenvisited
them at school.
Senior Students’FutureOptions Guidance
At this time of the year, wewould normally behaving visits from
University and Polytechnics to help guide our senior students around
the next phase of their educational pathway.
Much of that is still happening but, like so many things, in a somewhat
modified format so that we are still able to follow the safe boundaries
recommended to us in these times of COVID-19. We have had some
visitorsand some have delivered their messages via zoom.
The important fact isthat the information is still available so that our
seniors can make informedchoices.
Music Evening
Music Eveningisonusagainand auditions have been taking place. The
eventmay be compromised as aresultofCOVID,but it is very positiveto
see agood number ofparticipants turning up. Many are there making
sure that theHouse Pointwar is maintained,and they aredoingso with
enthusiasm and talent. Time will tell whether the actual performance
happens –fingerscrossed. Weare hopeful.
Lip Sync
This year sawLip Sync go digital,and competitors have submitted their
entries online. The creativity ofsome of these budding entertainers is
outstanding.
College Choir Performances
The choirs have been busy rehearsing for their concert onthe last
nightofthe term.Inlinewith currentprotocols this will be asmall affair
held in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre foyer where asmall audience
will enjoy the amazing sound of the Phoenix Chorus when they take
‘Cocktails with the Chorus’.
This will be a‘glam event’, cocktail dresses and mocktails designed by the
Chorus will make anighttoremember.
The first Monday ofthe holidays sees the choir out again, singing for
the Pakeke Lions' 40thBirthdaycelbrations at the Hotel Ashburton.The
Pakeke Lionshave been strong supporters of the CollegeChoirs over the
years,and it will be greattojoininwith their celebrations.
Drug Detection Service
Wednesday 09September saw another visit by the New Zealand Drug
Detection Service, who came in foracouple of hours to carry outsome
canine visits to randomly selectedclassrooms.
Like all other establishments we are keen to progress our educational
supportaround the use of inappropriate substances.Keeping awatchful
eyeon this is seen as part of the overall package aroundeducationand
adeterrent forsome of our youngpeople.

Engaging Presentations and Workshops
Read NZ, Te Pou Muramura, Writers in Schools Programme brought
PhilippaWerry to our College Library on Tuesday08Septemberfor awhole
day ofvery engaging presentations and workshops, said Teacher Librarian
Anne Williams.
Anne advised that Philippa (pictured above) delighted our students with
stories about her writing world, giving insights into how she collects ideas
and expandsthem into books. Givenour experiencewith COVID-19 it was
really interesting for our students to hear about the polio epidemic that
featured in her book ‘Enemyatthe Gate’.
Philippa talked about taking snippets of history, or family stories and using
them as starters for writing. Her book ‘The Telegram’, about a post-girl who
had to deliver telegrams to people during World War I, was an example of
this. Philippa is apublisher of many ‘MyStory’style books.
Philippa ran apresentation (pictured below) during Period 1for students
interested in books, reading and writing, attended by thirty students. For
the balance ofthe day, she facilitated writing workshops for many ofour
talented junior and senior writers, numbering twenty of each level. These
students were thoroughly engaged,insmall groups,taking partinavariety
of writingexercises, andworking on their ownideas andtechniques.
Some of the many positiveresponses from our students to ‘what
did youlearn’included:
• Ilearnedmanyprocesses and ways to build acharacter,setting,and also
howtouse dialogue to my advantage.
• A huge amount! How to create characters, dialogue etc. How towrite
shortstories andfind ideas.
• Ilovedall the adviceand tips she gave us,Iwill definitely be usingthem
forfuturestories.
• The way small ideas can grow into books.The idea of using the‘what if’
statements to bring more to the story.
When asked if students had been inspired tocontinue with your
ownwriting,some answers included:
• Yes, the workshop has made me want to get back into writing. Iforgot
howmuch fun writing wasand the workshopreally justreminded me of
how good it wasand definitely inspired me to writemore.
• Ithas beenhelpfulasitmademeunderstand thatthere is acertain logic
to writing stories.Inthisaspectithas,inits ownway,encouraged me to
keep at it.
• I have. Her Workshop has helped me develop abrand new story idea!
AndI’m very grateful forit.

OutdoorEducation Classes Tackle Little Mt Peel
TwoYear 10 Outdoor Education classes benefitted from superb weather at
the startoflast week fortheir tramps to the topofLittle Mt Peel. Weenjoy
the reports from both parties.
Monday07September Trip
Teacher-in-charge Ron Carlson said that Monday dawned bright and clear
and one of the groups of the Year 10 Outdoor Education classes gathered to
travel to Peel Forest wherethey were set to tackle Little Mt Peel.
Nineteen students, with two staff (Ron Carlson and Rachel Donaldson) set
off on the journey to walk up the South Ridge track to the Trig Station at the
top, and planning to returnvia the Deer Spur track.
The trek uptook about three hours with some steep sections and alittle
bit of snow along the way. Ashort lunch break at the top inthe hut was a
welcome break,albeit with acoldwind blowing from the mountain tops.

The journey down was much easier, and with the help of aseries of
boardwalks on the upper slopes. However, most ofthe way was through
alittle run-off causing alot of mud with many squeals and yells emitting,
givenbalancewas oftendifficult.
The quicker-footed students completed the downward journey inonly an
hour and ahalf, and then spentalittle time in the cold creek at the car park
cleaning off the layers of mud!

Tuesday 08 September Trip
On Tuesdaythe second Year 10 Outdoor Education group went on their hike
up Little Mt Peel, accompanied by teacher-in-charge Luke Martin and Phys
Ed teacher Annabelle Simpson.
Luke said that many students had fond memories from their Year 8
experienceofclimbing Little Mt Peel,only to find this time would be slightly
morechallenging due to taking the South Ridge routetothe top. This route
is just alittle bit steeper than the usual Deer Spur route.
(Pictured below): Students making their wayupSouth Ridge to the summit
of Little Mt Peel.
The weather was again superb, which meant agreat day’s hiking for the
group. There were some students who found the climb pretty tough but
they persevered and made it to the top, with many ofthe students feeling
proud of what they had achieved. Itwas great tosee the groups working
together and helping each other along the way.
Congratulations
CanterburySchools’Equestrian Dressage
Twenty seven teamsfromthe wider Canterburyareacompeted in this event
on Monday07September at McLean’s IslandNational Equestrian Centre.
Teacher-in-ChargeKaren McKenzie said thatthe eventwas held understrict
COVID-19 rules. This meant there was very little contact with other teams
and, following completion of the two dressage tests, teams then had to
leave the facility.
Ashburton College currently has anew, young team, and is in arebuilding
phase. (Pictured below, left to right): Jessica Taylor and My Majic Mike,

Junior Students’Ski Trip
The second of two Junior Ski Trips was held onTuesday 08 September in
very hot spring conditions. The first trip washeld on 30 July.
Teacher-in-charge KarenMcKenzie said that, fortunately,the 40cmsnowfall
the previous week meant that thesixty seven students hadawonderful day
skiing andridingthe whole mountain. Most students had aski/snowboard
lesson, inorder to improvetheir skills.
With Mt Hutt operating under strict COVID-19 conditions, purchasing food
and drinkswas advised as rather challenging, but it was areal bonus to be
able to hold the day.
Staff involved, aside from Karen, were Vaughan Matheson, James List,
Ron Carlson and Bridget McConnochie who all enjoyed the day and said
it was good to see students participating in an outdoor activity, while
respecting the COVID rulesand behaving well.
Coming Events
Alterations due toCOVID changes will be advised directly toeach group as

Rural Accountants for Rural People
Ashburton accounting firm Falloons has rebranded and is starting anew era as Rural Business Accountants.
Anewera...
Rural Business Accountants director
Aaron Allred understands farming and
the challenges it presents. He has
lived most of his life in Methven, in a
district whose economic strength is
what grows on or from the land.
He is the third generation of Allreds
to do business in Mid Canterbury and
takes pride in getting to know his
clients and building close relationships.
His father Selwyn was in real estate
and his grandmother once owned the
Brown Pub in Methven.
Aaron came to the boutique
accounting firm 10 years ago,
becoming apartner in the business
then owned by John Falloon, in
anticipation of taking it over once he
bought the business.
Aaron studied at the University of
Canterbury and spent several years at
accounting firms in Ireland and Egypt
before returning home, where he’s
now amember of the Methven Lions
Club and still loves to ski.
Wife Tracey is anurse in ward one at
Ashburton Hospital, son Jackson (20)
is studying engineering at Canterbury
and daughter Holly (18) plans to study
nursing at Otago next year.
Aaron says he enjoys being part of a
small firm and meeting clients on-farm
or in Rural Business Accountants’
Ashburton office to help them with a
wide range of accounting and financial
needs, from tax returns and wages to
succession planning.
“Farmers are under strain at the
moment because of Government
regulations. They have been
encouraged to grow and now
they face environmental rules that
are putting unfair pressure on
their businesses. The amount of
improvement Ihave seen on-farm has
been massive but the
amount of credit given to farmers
for this has been minimal.”
Ruralsectorspecialists
Having timely and accurate business
information is critical to making the right
business decisions, whether you own
an 800-cow dairy farm, contract milk,
run stock or grow specialty seeds.
Rural Business Accountants director
Aaron Allred says his firm isall about
analysing financial information collected
during the regular course of business
and helping clients make decisions that
improve their lives. They crunch the
numbers, make sure you are compliant,
advise how to reduce tax and help with
cashflow.
Aaron says they can objectively assess
how your business is performing and
make suggestions, especially if you
are looking togrow, change or borrow
money.
The rural sector specialists offer budget
advice and analysis, sale and purchase
advice, dotax returns and tax planning.
“The main reason people have
accountants is compliance, soyou
can get your accounts into aformat
to supply them to the Inland Revenue
Department.
We can also save you money, help
structure your affairs, we can deal with
things like ACC, borrowing money and
know where you can improve things.”
While compliance isstandard business
for accountants, Aaron says an
important part is building arelationship
of trust and meeting clients face to face
helps him understand how they are
feeling about their businesses. That
may bring about areview of finances,
adiscussion about cutting back on
drawings, or scrutinising costs.
“We can also give afew ideas about
how other people are succeeding and
share good practice.”
An area ofincreasing work is
succession.
Aaron says this can sometimes be a
blunt conversation about money, but it
is often atime for families to think about
and acknowledge work done in the
The whole team at Rural Business

BY ROSS KIDDIE
I've always dismissed it,but
now IfearI’m colourblind.
Thereason being is that
whenIpicked up anew
MitsubishiMirage from the
dealership, Iaskedthe very
friendly salesman: “Isitthe
brown car out the front?’’
He replied by saying it
wasn’tbrown, butyellow, and
we got intoadebate. We
finished by agreeing it wasa
mustard colour and, as such,
it is very unusual anddifficult
to describe. It is the colourin
the photograph that
accompanies thisarticle, it is
vivid and not acolouryou
oftensee on today’s roads.
However, I’ve beenassured
it is apopular choiceand, as
in my case,acolour which
draws interest and
discussion.
The new colourcoincides
withanew exterior designfor
the Mirage.The new
generation model is sharper,
less rounded, it is edgy and
boldupfront. There’s alsoa
new interior package,there’s
alot morekit in the car,
especially for safety, while
the controls and functions
havebeenfurther designed
for easeofuse and simplicity.
Eventhough the Mirage is
built in Thailand, it
encompassesthe easytouse
Japanesedesignphilosophy.
Insidethe compact body
shell, the wee Mirage makes
gooduse of its proportions.
It’s abit of asqueeze in the
rearfor any morethan two
occupants, but there is
appropriate leg andhead
room, likewise up front. The
driver sitsalittle high in the
seat, but other than that the
driving positionis
comfortable. For those who
are less thanagile,gettingin
and out of the driver’s seatis
abreeze because of its height,
there’s no stressput on the
hips.
Elsewhere, the Mirage sits
on much the sameplatformas
before,although asI’ve just
alluded to, thereare
upgradesthroughout which
further enhances itsfivestar
Australasian NewCar
Assessment Program safety
rating.
Underthe rear hatchback
arealies a235litre load area,
extendingto912 litres with
the rear seats folded. At the
other end sits a1.2litre,
threecylinder,twincamshaft,
12valvepetrol
engine. It hasmodest power
outputs of 58kW and 102Nm,
but the Mirage is light at
895kg so the engine creates
useful, adequateand thrifty
performance.
Mitsubishi has been busy
refining this engine. There’s
no denying the characteristic
tone that accompanies the
threepot design, but it’s not
overbearingand Iquite like
the honest, deliberate wayin
which it sounds.
Drive is through
continuously variable
transmission. Thereare no
surprises here and no driveractivated
controls. What you
get is asimplesystem that
works well. CVTdoesn’t load
the engine whichallows it to
workwithin its ownfreedom
parameters, it never feels low
on revs,pickup is always
deliveredatthe driver’s will.
The Mirageisno
powerhouse and acceleration
fits within its designconcept,
it will make astandstill to
100km/h in 13sec.
However, what doesmatter
the most is whatthe Mirage
achievesin terms on fuel
usage,Mitsubishi claimsa
fivelitre per 100km combined
cycle average. During my time
in the test car Idid alot of
innercity commuting and
short low speed journeys,
evenso, the fuel usage
readout was listing an average
of 6l/100km when Itook the
car back to the dealership.
That included my longopen
roadjourney which offered an
amazing 3.4l/100km
instantaneous figureat
100km/h, the enginespinning
overfreely at 2000rpm.
Threecylinder engines are
generally strongon torque and
it responds well to midrange
throttle request, an overtaking
manoeuvre (80120km/h) can
be achieved in 9sec. With the
freedomofCVT the engine
builds revs andinitiates
momentum quickly,well akin
to its roleanyway.
The Mirage also feels light
from behind the wheel, the
electric power steeringsystem
doesn’t affordalot of
feedback,but the tyres (175/55
x15in Bridgestone Potenza)
are of highqualityand have
high grip levels.
It is also the perfect city
runaboutwith vision and
manoeuvrabilitywell
manufactured into the car. I
like it for its build quality and
engineering aspects whichare
just so downright honest,
bearing in mind that
Mitsubishi hasa10year/
160,000km driveline warranty
and afiveyear/130,000km
vehicle warranty
incorporated into every
Mirage purchase.

Keeping rural women connected
Marg Verrall has been named Rural
Women NewZealand(RWNZ) Mid
Canterburyprovincial president.
Amemberofthe Winchmore branchof
RWNZ,Marg is looking forward to the
challenge but mindfulofthe work done by
othersinthe role.
“Thepeople before me have done great
jobs, it’s abit daunting there are big shoes
to fill.”
Marg got involved with RWNZ after
beingencouraged, for many years, by
neighbourNgaireBrown.
She resisted until her three children,
now adults withchildren of their own,
were older as she supported their
sportingactivities.Itincluded being
involvedwith AllentonNetballClub,
where she is alife member.
RWNZ startedasthe Women’s Division
of the Farmer’s Unionin1925, and is vocal
at anational level on range of rural sector
services such as health,education,
environment andsocial issues.
Mid Canterburystill hasthree active
branches: Anama, Lynnfordand
Winchmore, as wellasindividual
members.
Marg moved to Winchmore after
marrying Bob in the 1970s.
Their property along State Highway 77
between Ashburton andMethvenhas been
in the Verrall family now over four
generations.Bob is the third generation
farmeronthe 205hectare farm.
There is alot of diversification on farm
with cropping, fattening cattle,grazing
and sileage operations duringthe year,
Marg said.
Theyalsorun Winchmore Gardens, by
appointment during the summerseason,
to showcase thehomestead’s 1.8 hectare
gardenstoothers.
Marg is charmed by the history of the
property andfeelsanemotional
connectiontoit.

The couple were
announced ShareFarmers
of theYear in July before
tweets, publishedbyMr
Bertram in 2017 became
known.
The award wasrevoked
from the couple who had
entered as apartnership.
The purpose of the
review was to understand
more detail about what
was known of the tweets
sent out by Mr Bertram in
2017,how that knowledge
(of the tweets) was dealt
with at thetime,and howa
similar situation could be
avoided in the future.
Ms Hughes said it was
important that“all
involved in these awards
recognise the dangers of
socialmedia and the need
to remind allparties of this
issue at repeated points
along the application
trajectory, so as to avoida
repetitionofthese events.”
The title of 2020 New

In the past therewere dedicated
vegetable gardens full of produce to
sustain the homestead household, Marg
said.
There arestill wellingtonia trees, aged
up to 160 years, growing in the extensive
gardens which have kept many original

well as akissing gatefrom the era.
Bob’s grandfather, HarryMiles Verrall,

Graeme Frew and his Russian fighter Yak3
plane at Ashburton Airport at the weekend.
Noisy Yak
finds fans
At least four thrillseekers took up the
chance to fly in aRussianYak 3fighter
plane, aptly named Full Noise, at the
weekend.
The Russian fighter Yak3 plane,
scheduled to be here last month, was at
AshburtonAirportoffering those who were
willing, and able to pay, aonceinalifetime
opportunity of a20minute flightoverthe
Ashburtondistrict and beyond.
Full Noise ownerGraemeFrew, of
Blenheim,said it was one of the best fighter
planes that theRussians produced in the
Second WorldWar.
He has owneditsince 2004 and considers
its purchase amemorable moment.
‘‘It was one of those Iwish, Iwonder,why
not moments,and Ijust made it work,’’ he
said.
The Yak3 was restored over time at Jem
AviationLtd in Blenheim and finally flew at
the Wanaka Air Show in 2012.
‘‘I bought it as aproject and had it
restored in Blenheim ... andI’ve been
figuring out how to try and pay for it ever
since.’’
Its ongoing maintenance has nottobeen
too difficulttomaintain,
‘‘It’s agood mixofRussianand American
hardware and believeitornot alot of the
Russian stuffispretty easy to findstill. The
enginescan still getthem overhauled and
the propeller is offaDC3 so it’s all pretty
common stuff,’’ he said.
It’s been‘‘flying beautifully’’.
Mr Frewhas beenanAir NewZealand
pilot for the past25years.
Prior to that he was in the New Zealand
Air Force first signing up as an engineer
aged 16 years old. He thendid apilots
course while in the air force.
In his Yak 3heregularly stopsoveratthe
AshburtonAirportasit’s apopular fuelling
destination.
‘‘They’re so supportive,’’ he said of the
district’s aviation community.
He was joined on the Ashburtonflying
trip by fellow pilot Ryan Southam who also
tookover some ofthe flying duties.
Mr Frewsaid during national Covid19
lockdownaplan was hatched to offer rides
to people in the Yak 3.
Arear seat wasinstalled andanitinerary
planned. Aplanned visit to Ashburtonlast
monthwas delayed due to Covid19 but it
went aheadatthe weekend.
The Yak 3has aV12 engine with 1250
horsepower and travels at an average speed
of 420km/hour. It has atop speed of 600km/
hour.
‘‘It burns afair bit of fuelgoingfrom Ato
Bbut you’re also going afair speed as well,’’
he said.
It was built as ashort range interceptor so
afull tank will empty in around 90 minutes
flyingtime.
The rides were tailoredtosuitcustomers
andcould include thethrill of speed or
acrobatic flying.
But Mr Frew said they werenot into
