UPWIND
The small township
of Greytown lies within the wide Wairarapa pastoral region where dairy
farming is a way of life. For one farmer however, cows were not enough,
so he decided to develop a large airfield where he could indulge in
his passion for flying gliders. Along with a band of enthusiast glider
pilots, he helped establish a new gliding club.
Selwyn Roberts, one of the foundation members, takes us on a journey
of discovery documenting the efforts involved setting up the club and
its airstrip.
Selwyn, along with other members of the club, share their insights to
the activities of the gliding club, the joy and satisfaction of flying
and the serenity that can be enjoyed from operating at this remote and
peaceful location.
