Last month the Waikato-based company an- nounced a $24 million 12 aircraft deal with an American organisation. Further orders have also been received from Europe and Pacifi c Aerospace managing director Brian Hare says there are steady enquiries for the PAC 750XL from around the world. “It is pleasing to see strong leads across the civilian and military markets, and to fi rm up some of the 260 purchase options into aircraft contracts.” To cope with the growth, Waipa business Pacifi c Aerospace is considering a new facility to bring its parts and assembly processes into one build- It all comes ing at Mystery Creek.

PAGE 16 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, February 22, 2005 Hunt helps Kihikihi to fi fth polo trophy Teenager player of 10-goal tournament The number of trophies won by Kihikihi Polo Club in 2005 leapt to fi ve with victory in the annual 10-goal tournament at Kihikihi. The Kihikihi team (sponsored by Power Farming) beat Ran- gitikei (sponsored by Gallagher Group) 10-6 in the fi nal at the Nga Rakau grounds. Power Farming’s line-up com- prised of Paul Kay, organiser of International Day, Duncan Par- rott, secretary of Kihikihi Club, and two imports - Guy Kirk- patrick (Poverty Bay) and Sam Hunt (Mystery Creek club). This well balanced side was never seriously challenged, win- ning all their games by comfort- able margins. They swept aside another Kihikihi team 6-2 and a side from Hawkes Bay 11-5. Hunt deservedly took out the player of the tournament. The 17-year-old seems des- tined to follow in the footsteps of his cousin, professional polo player John-Paul Clarkin. He played an outstanding game at No 1 for Power Farming in the fi nal. His weekend was capped by also winning the pony prize. Hunt returned to New Zealand (from Australia) with his family last year to help Chele Clarkin run Mystery Creek club.

The (then) 80-year-old upstaged the ‘young guns’ at Waikanae, becoming only the third player from the Waikato to win the prestigious Arthur Ross Memorial trophy in the 23 year his- tory of the event. Richardson enjoyed further success, with clubmate Alan Thornton, representing W.K.C.C. Association in the Northern teams event in Ham- ilton.
