It's the organizers intention to run this event every second year with this being the first. The in between years has already been filled with Wings Over Wanaka Air Show. So for you fellas uptop who have had enough of winter with an interest in old aircraft, earthmoving equipment and trucks could make Wanaka your permanite Easter destination. There is also plenty of craft shops in the area to keep Her Indoors amused while you do your thing. ;)

Sorry, my bad,TS24 :D There is quite a story about the C12 with rippers. It was working in a underground coal mine that was being changed to an open cut operation. The ground opened up a swolled it and stayed there for many years submerged in water a mud. The current owners retrieved and restored it a few years ago. The original owners name is on the bonnet.
The other C12 was found in BC Canada, shipped to New Zealand 2 years ago and restored by Paul Clark who owns a fair chunk of the Cat machines including the 660 and runs this show.

I have never seen two TC12's running at one time before. Cool machines! Is there any concern of bending the dead axles on the front push machine with that much grunt behind it pushing. The pounds of push force on the trunnions has to be out of this world. They badly bent the dead axles on an outside mounted blade 14A D8 at Santa Margarita in 2017 while tandem pushing with a D9 behind it. It walked like a duck when loading it out.
