Initials are correct....Hardie Victor 3...Whisky 3 ?????. Yes we did work all that grand country you mention with our pack horses before 76. You should have seen the mobs of deer around before we got started up there.

Dont you go believing half of these stories they might tell you about a bloke when he is not there to defend himself TeRei.

Hardie was in Victor 3 and 4. Can you flick me your email address for him. He says one of your crew died in Ypuk the other day and they were trying to get hold of you. Bill Roydhouse says hello. Joe Keeley told us a story about you in the early 80s when he first flew us in. Is the story about the incident with the other local Taupo pilot true.Seen the dwarf lately?I know a few people who remember crossing the Taruarau when it never used to have a bridge. The Taihape /Napier rd now all sealed.If you look from Aorangi towards Ruapehu [the big block of scrub in between ] thats where we trap. Glorious view of all the Ruas. Kia kaha.
