Each of the above presentations (in both video and web page format) were compiled by retired and long-service AIR NZ F/E Gary SOMMERVILLE. Gary was one of a number of the airlines retired F/E's whom provided both extensive and invaluable support/assistance for the DC-10 panels/simulations HJG currently offers.

Thank you for all those video links. Very interesting to watch during those long FS flights when on auto pilot.

Decided to extend the title theme .... in order to include AIR NZ's other aircraft types preceding the DC-8's but only those types crewed by FE's ....

SHORTS EMPIRE/SANDRINGHAM/SUNDERLAND/SOLENT FLYING BOATS .... this was the very foundation of TEAL/AIR NZ from 1939

AIR NEW ZEALAND's FLIGHT ENGINEERS

This is a website set up by retired AIR NZ FE's .... for the airlines retired FE's (upon withdrawal of AIR NZ's last remaining B742 during 1999 FE's no longer formed part of the airlines operational air crew). PLEASE NOTE: This is not a site one can sign-up to and participate within. It "IS" an "EXCLUSIVE FRATERNITY". None-the-less the site contains a host of valuable historic resources relating to TEAL/AIR NZ aircraft types supported by FE's between 1939 and 1999 ....

Strongly recommended viewing ,,,, for those of a technical foundation/background or with a serious interest in airline history.

Again .... this site host "A LOT" of valuable and historic resource.
