New
Zealand facts & history in brief
New Zealand Map
Interesting vehicles
that I've seen, that were different or appealed
to my sense of humour and the maker's or owner's similar
sense of humour.
After all someone had to visualise it, make it, because
he/she wanted something different and individual.
Obviously this is not and I don't even pretend to be
an authoritative collection of bikes, cars, house trucks
or other vehicles of interesting or individual design,
since it wasn't my intention and I didn't have my camera
always handy or ready.
Regardless, enjoy it.
The Richard Pearse's "Flying Machine" as displayed in
down-country N.Z.
Here in New Zealand we strongly believe Richard
Pearse, a farmer from Canterbury and a mechanical genius,
was the first to build and fly a homemade, heavier-than-air
machine. For some time it was believed that his first
flight was in March 1904, about three months after the
Wright brothers had flown on 17 December 1903, at Kittyhawk.
However, new research however put Pearse's first flight
on the 31st of March 1902, nearly two years before the
Wright Brothers. I will not argue either way, just thought
I will mention him here on these pages as another extraordinary
New Zealander with vision and talent.
(Not unlike me, ha-ha.)
