    Seagrove Airfield

    Go back to pages 4 & 5 of this thread and you will find more about Seagrove. Back in the 1990's we had a beach place on the far side of the Manukau Harbour. A neighbour there who had a fishing cabin, farmed part of Seagrove and confirmed that even after 50 years the remains of the runways were still visible. Also mentioned bulldozers being bogged down in the mudflats during construction.

    Stu, Thanks, have had a re-read and Bob Homewood's post was from the article that was later scanned and posted. Cheers
