What a show!
A great day was had by all who came from near and far to the Nhill Airshow 2024.

Greetings from Nhill
John Williams. It came in the form of postcards, and here are just a few from the early days, well before emails and even when the telephone was a novelty. On one side of a postcard, there is usually a brief note to a friend or relative, but on the other, it’s Nhill’s history….
