The Addington Brook renewal
project has been completed,
marking a major step forward
for one of the most polluted
waterways in Christchurch.
Spring and stormwater-fed
Addington Brook winds through
industrial land in the city’s southwest,
before passing through
South Hagley Park and flowing
into the Ōtākaro-Avon River.
Previously, the brook faced
several challenges within the
park including slumping banks,
limited drainage capacity, poor
biodiversity, and blockages
caused by trees.
In some areas, the narrow
waterway was difficult to distinguish,
with a three-metre-high
drop

With the renewal now complete,
the city council says
ongoing benefits will include:
• Flattened and stabilised
banks that improve drainage,
enhance waterway health, and
increase The Star, park January safety; 23, 2025
• New native riparian strips
which protect against erosion
and filter contaminants;
• New ecological habitat for
eels and fish, providing shelter
from predators and resting spots
during storm flows;
• 500 new trees which will
allow for a range of tree species
of various ages and heights along
the waterway;
• A renewed pathway along the
top of the southern bank, perfect
for walkers;
• New access points to the
waterway at select, gently sloped,
grassed locations for easier identification
and use;
​In two to three years, the
area will be flourishing as
trees and plants become more
fully established, a city council
spokesperson said.
“The project team will continue
monitoring and maintaining
the site and will carry out additional
planting during next year’s
season to ensure the landscape
thrives.”

Restoring history: Decades-long
​BY GEOFF SLOAN
For 26 years, Dag Guest
has poured time, skill and
determination into restoring
one of the rarest warbirds in
existence – a World War 2 de
Havilland Mosquito 98.
“It’s a very historically significant
aircraft,” he said.
More than 7700 Mosquitos
were built from 1940-1950,
serving in multiple roles from
fighters to bombers. Only about
30 are left worldwide and just
five are still capable of flying.
Guest is one of about 30
volunteers at the Ferrymead
Aeronautical Society, a group
dedicated to preserving New
Zealand’s aviation history at
Ferrymead Heritage Park.
He leads a team of four volunteers
to restore Mosquito
HR339, the last surviving
aircraft operated by No 487
Squadron RNZAF and the only
surviving Mosquito flown by an
RNZAF squadron during WW2.
The de Havilland Mk VI Mosquito
flew 31 combat operations
between December 1944 and
May 1945.
“It saw action over Germany,
and it was severely damaged by
flak while attacking a train during
operation Clarion, forcing it
to belly-land at an emergency
airfield,” said Guest.
After extensive repairs,
HR339 returned to No 487
Squadron in April 1945, continuing
its service.
Dag Guest with the fuselage of Mosquito NZ2328, which he is combining with the wings of Mosquito HR339 to form a single
aircraft. Inset – NZ2328 in service with the No 75 Squadron RNZAF.
In 1948, it was flown to
RNZAF Ohakea near Palmerston
North and later written off after
it was involved in a taxiing accident
at RNZAF Wigram.
It was sold to a Banks Peninsula
farmer in 1952, who cut it
into pieces small enough to fit
on his small truck and transported
it back to his farm at
Pigeon Bay.
The remains were spotted
by members of the Aviation
Historical Society in 1972 and
retrieved by Ferrymead Aeronautical
Society volunteers.
Guest is a former aircraft
engineer and a furniture maker.
Yet advice from around the
world was there was no way the
master craftsman could repair
that much damage – and not to
bother trying.
“Well, that was like a red rag
to a bull to me. I like a challenge,”
said Guest.
The restoration project combines
the fuselage of another
Mosquito, NZ2328, with the
wings of HR339 to make a single
aircraft to static display
standard.
“It’s taken me 26 years to
repair the fuselage. It was very
badly damaged, particularly
around the starboard cockpit
area,” said Guest.
However, after more than a
quarter of a century, the project
doesn’t look like being completed
anytime soon.
“The structural repairs are
extremely complicated. As far
as we know, there’s only one
other person in the world who's
tackled wings as badly damaged
as ours.”
But that doesn’t faze the energetic
73-year-old.
Born in Bradford, England,
Guest became known as ‘Dag’
after enlisting with the Royal
Naval Reserve Air Branch at age
17.
“I walked into a Royal Navy
mess with the initials D.A.G on
my kitbag. Someone just said
you must be Dag, and the name
stuck.”
It was used so much he had it
changed to his legal name.
Guest went on to train as an
aircraft engineer with the Royal
Navy. He left the navy in 1978
after for 10 years.
“After I left the navy, I worked
for an American company in
the Middle East. Unfortunately
I got caught up in the January
1979 Iranian Revolution and
was trapped there for a while.”

effort to rebuild WW2 Mosquito
The Iranian Revolution saw
the US-backed shah overthrown
and an Islamic Republic
established, led by Ayatollah
Khomeini, who had returned
from exile.
Guest said after he was evacuated
to America, he retrained
and got further qualifications
and a job working on Bell
helicopters.
In December 1979, he came to
New Zealand on holiday.
“I was broke and needed to
work, so I got a six-month work
permit and got a job as an aircraft
maintenance engineer at
Christchurch Airport.”
When his work permit ended,
he applied for permanent
residency. Two years later, he
married a New Zealander.
When asked how his wife
Carol feels about the amount of
time he devotes to his long-term
labour of love, Guest said she
was very supportive.
“She puts up with it, and
treats it as a good reason to
send me out of the house.”
In 1984, Guest changed
careers and opened a handmade
furniture business at
Ferrymead Heritage Park.
He joined the aeronautical
society six years later.
“I had my furniture business
in the park, but when I moved
it out I joined the aeronautical
society so I could still have
access to Ferrymead.”
The park is home to a
significant collection of 10 fixed

wing aircraft, ranging from a
Vickers Viscount airliner with a
94ft wingspan, to a de Havilland
Vampire jet fighter and a
Lockheed Hudson light bomber.
The aircraft represent New
Zealand’s civil and military
history of aviation from WW2
to the present day. The park
also boasts one of the largest
collections of helicopters in
New Zealand, with seven
complete or near-complete
aircraft.
The society welcomed the
former aircraft engineer turned
woodworker with open arms.
Guest said it “gently nudged me
towards the Mosquito”.
It was an ideal fit, as the WW2
de Havilland Mosquito was
famously constructed primarily
from wood, earning it the
wartime nickname “Wooden
Wonder”.
It was constructed of plywood
and balsa wood, along with
spruce for spars and ash for
framing, which minimised
the use of metal which was a
scarce commodity in wartime
Britain.
Guest said they could easily
have sped up the restoration
process by installing metal
plates to repair the aircraft,
“but that just wouldn’t look
right.”
He still runs his Halswellbased
hand-made furniture
business, but after semi-retiring
earlier this year has been able
to spend a lot more time on the
Mosquito’s restoration.
“With the progress we're
making now, I would hope that
the wing would be together in
five years, but it may be more.”
He said if all goes to plan,
the Mosquito may be ready for
public display in about 10 years.
“Provided I don’t go
doolally, I’d like to keep
going until it’s finished
. . . to get the airplane
together and on display.”
Dag Guest
“But that all depends on if we
get a new building.”
He said a bigger display space
would be needed when the
wings are reunited with the
Mosquito’s fuselage.
“We’d like to be able to raise
the money to house the Mosquito,
along with the vampire
and Lockheed Hudson – but
that’s just a pipe dream at the
moment.”
He said the uncertain future
of Ferrymead Heritage Park
was also a worry for the society.
However, he remains unfazed
by the scale of the rebuild.
“Provided I don’t go doolally,
I’d like to keep going until it's
finished. What we want to do is
get the airplane together, and
on display.”
Any donations of money
or parts to help complete the
project would be gratefully
received.

2025 Tūhono The Mighty Oaklands Otters!
Year 7/8 Water Polo Festival
What a performance at the Town
Hall on Sunday 30th November.
Our tamariki did us proud at the
recent Tūhono Kapa Haka festival
They represented our kura with
real mana, stepping onto the
stage with confidence, pride, and a
deep sense of kotahitanga. It was
awesome to see their hard mahi
and wairua shine through in every
item.
Our waiata tira, “To Aroha,” set a
beautiful tone for the performance.
This waiata encourages generosity
and kindness during the Matariki
season — such a fitting reminder
as we head towards the end of the
year.
The group then moved into our
waiata ā ringa, “Karangatia Rā,”
which acknowledges Sir Apirana Ngata and his incredible contribution
to Aotearoa. Our students performed with expression and respect,
really capturing the essence of the waiata.
To close, the rōpū performed our haka, “Owaka Karawhiua.” This
powerful haka proclaims our school values and honours our
connection to Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki. The energy on stage was electric —
tino kaha rawa atu!
He mihi nunui ki ngā kaiako, whānau, and everyone who supported
the rōpū throughout their journey. Our students stood strong, proud,
and united. Ka mau te wehi, team!
Congratulations to Roman Williams who won the Best Tane

Christchurch Lion’s Music Festival
On the 7th of November the
Christchurch Town Hall Auditorium
was filled with energy, laughter and
outstanding talent as the annual
Christchurch Lion’s Music Festival
brought together students, families,
and community supporters for an
unforgettable evening of music.
A remarkable group of 37
students from Oaklands Te Kura
o Ōwaka took the stage with 600
other children in the mass and
representative choir, presenting
a vibrant range of songs that
showcased both their skill and their
love of performing. The harmonies
were polished, and the enthusiasm
of all involved lit up the auditorium.
The students’ hard work was rewarded with a sell out crowd.
Adding to the magic of the evening, Orlando Ye was selected to be
part of the Concert band and delivered a beautiful performance on the
oboe. Being chosen to be part of such an elite group is an outstanding
achievement and represents the school value of excellence to the
highest degree.
The night was truly a celebration of young talent and community spirit.
Teachers, whānau, and supporters of the festival were full of praise,
noting how proud they were of the students’ hard work and effort.
Overall, it was an amazing night, and all students left the stage
beaming and grateful for the experience. The Christchurch Lion’s Music
Festival once again proved to be an amazing event, uplifting both
performers and audience alike.
Playing on a Friday night in the D grade,
we decided to give this tournament
a go and see how we went.
The Otters travelled to Dunedin on
Friday 7th November to attend the
annual festival at Moana Pool.
There were 12 teams in the B grade
and there was fierce competition.
WE CAME, WE PLAYED AND
WE CONQUERED!
FIRST time playing in a tournament
FIRST time playing in B grade
(usually we play in D grade)
FIRST time playing full pool
FIRST time playing 6 a side
FIRST time knowing extra rules such
as kick outs
FIRST time taking penalty shots
Congratulations to Ben Mason for
being recognised as MVP of the
tournament in B Grade.
Our trip to Tūranga!
On Thursday the 6th of November,
Hub 3 went on our trip to Tūranga. For
the first half of the day, H3B and H3D
departed school by bus and enjoyed
their activities. Then in the afternoon
it was time for H3A and H3C to enjoy
the library. While we were at the library
we had two different activities to enjoy.
One of them started by listening to
some different books focused on the
character’s perspective, an example was
an e-book being told from the wolf’s
perspective in The Three Little Pigs.
Then we got to explore one of the library
floors and the tamariki enjoyed doing
the scavenger hunt and building with the lego and other materials that the library had.
The second activity was Imagination Stations. We had an awesome team show us how
to use a story mountain planner to create our own stories. Students were put into groups
and given a little lego character and a lego setting. They had to create a story for their
character and then begin making their story using each part of the mountain planner. Our
students really enjoyed developing characters and telling their stories to each other. This
trip tied in really well to our focus on perspectives this
term because we got to explore different character’s
perspectives and also see things from other
character’s point of views from well known fairytales
like The Three Little Pigs.
I asked two of our students what their favourite part of
the trip was and this is what they had to say:
Miao G: My favourite part of the trip was Imagination
Stations because I enjoyed creating a story using the
lego characters and the setting. Amelia I: My favourite
part of the trip was listening to the stories that the
librarian read and playing on the computer.
Thank you to our parent helpers. We couldn’t have
done this trip without you!

Desiree Moot’s Christmas and Lego House includes a cake and gingerbread
themed kitchen and walk-through grotto.
Christmas house sparkles for a good cause
​BY GEOFF SLOAN
Desiree Moot has spent the past
17 years transforming her home
into a Christmas wonderland,
opening the doors to the public
each December to raise money
for charity.
This year, she is again fundraising
for Hope Alive
Healthcare in the Philippines,
supporting women living in
poverty.
Her oldest daughter is a nurse
and has been volunteering in
the Philippines for the past six
years, along with her husband.
Hope Alive
Healthcare is a
free pregnancy
clinic and birthing
centre serving
impoverished
Filipino families,
particularly
young, underprivileged
mothers. Desiree Moot
“Because over
there, if you don’t have money,
you can't get into the hospitals,”
said Moot.
She is aiming to raise $5000
for the non-profit charity.
“We’ve never made that
amount before. We raised $1500
last year and $2500 the year
before that to send to them.”
The Casebrook resident
said her Christmas decorating
started off innocently enough.
“It was a just small collection
going down the hallway into
one room, but each year it just
kept getting bigger. Pretty much
it’s the whole house and property
now.”
Moot said this year’s display
is be the biggest yet, with a
walk-through grotto, 10 Christmas
trees, 11 different themed
areas, a hallway covered in
jigsaw puzzles, and a village
with a train running through
it. She said the kitchen is cake
and gingerbread themed, while
there will be photo opportunities
among the teddy bears in
the dining room.
Moot’s Lego displays have
proved popular over the past
three to four years, she said.
“That’s pretty much to draw
the men in as well, and the children
who naturally love Lego.”
The Lego displays include a
Harry Potter themed bedroom,
and builds taking up the whole
garage.
“I leave it set up all year
round. It’s too big a job to take it
all down,” she said.
Moot starts planning and setting
up in October.
“Every year, I make sure I
rearrange everything and display
it all different,” she said.
“I love Christmas. I love
colour.”
The Christmas and Lego
House at 11 Tullamore Pl,
Casebrook, is open to the public
from Friday until December 24,
7.30-11.30pm.
Entry is $2.50 a person, cash
only.
