This photo was taken on the day that the nacelle was winched into place on the first Windflow Technologies turbine at Gebbies Pass, Canterbury. My father was able to attend and was thrilled to have been a part of the process. He died peacefully a week later.



I know that he was so proud to be a humble weatherman.

Very fitting and obviously very sentimental for you! I thought there were secondary level imbalance vibrations setup with the two vane vs three vane as it passes the tower. Good to see Kiwis getting in on the design/build act though, I'm an engineer - details... LOL
