This Site is dedicated to all those families of the people that have tragically disappeared on flights in and around New Zealand. I only hope that from all the effort in building this site and from all the effort of those taking part in this venture, that it will bear fruit in bringing ‘closure’ to their memories!

Update 5th December 2014
In this area there are several extra tunnel entrances shown on old photographs that
are not there today. I will attempt to demonstrate them here starting with the eastern
facing one:
As you can see in these photos above, it appears that this entrance may have been
recently built in 1942 judging by what appears to be fresh earth at the mouth of
it, although this may be just a reflection of sunlight from short shiny grass or
the like. The 1940 photos that I have show no sign of this, although they are not
that clear. Note the early stages of the camouflaging being carried out in 29-04-1942.
In the first two photos, there appears to be another entrance just to the lower right
of the disappearing gun in the first photo and just below and slightly to the left
of that gun in the second... although this could just be an illusion. The third
photo shows a well worn track leading from this entrance down towards the Old Eastern
Generator Room, and on the fourth (1954) the Plinth that is still there today is
visible. 
In this higher resolution photo (above, also dated 29-04-1942), the Plinth is also
visible and if you look closely you can see the worn track leading down over the
top of the Old Generator Room. Where the track goes from there is unknown. On the
next page, I have placed this same photo without the explanation additions to make
it clearer to see.
