Thread: Harvey Westland

My first memory of Harvey was when he was a Shepard on the Douglas farm in Cheviot along with my father, dad and Harvey built my mother’s spinning wheel over a few bottles ( quarts of beer) .Mum still has that spinning wheel to this day ..it must be 60years old at the minimum , Harvey was Flying remote control aircraft then , though the day he took us out, he lost a plane …like lost gone. Never to be seen again

The next time we met he was running a deer farm out of ch ch, remember watching the all blacks on a black n white tv he was running a short wheel base Land Rover, we took it to town to replace the canvas cover….he had a place that backed onto the military base.

A time long ago when land rovers were farm hacks and I was but a pup!
