Um, we don't have castles here in New Zealand. Blenheim Castle, in England, is the ancestoral home of the Churchhalls, ie Winston and his kin. The town of Blenheim in NZ is named after the same Blenheim bloke that the castle got named after. Blenheim, NZ, by the way reckons they have some of the best wine in the world (better than France), but, real New Zealand people drink beer! Their airport serves a special function.... specialises in crash landings. True. Just last week, a plane bound for a more important airport had nose wheel trouble... we don't want that blocking up 'our' airport... send it to Blenheim. Same thing happened a few years ago, and this was going to affect Wellington... same thing, go to Blenheim. And, when we had our only ever hijack (mad woman with knife, demanding asylum}...divert to Blenheim, please.
Back on topic, there are a few Sn3½ layouts down that way. --- In [email protected], "John" <armstong5...@...> wrote: > > It was(still is) a castle in New Zealand.
