50 years of Wigram aerodrome expo card


As can be seen, the base dated from 1917, named after transport and air force pioneer Henry Wigram. The RNZAF left in 1993 and the private aerodrome was closed in 2009. Since then the site has been developed for housing by the Ngai Tahu iwi under the name Wigram Skies. The historic control tower and hangars remain as they are heritage protected buildings. and the RNZAF museum, Air Force World, remains.
