Wings and Wheels Thames Inc

Thames Wings and Wheels was founded in collaboration with the
Thames Vintage, Classic Car Club and Hauraki Aero Club
and became Wings and Wheels Thames Incorporated in 2025.

The event has been running since 2018, and is
growing bigger and bigger each year!

Thames Vintage and Classic Car Club

We are a group of Vintage and Classic car enthusiasts who enjoy our cars, get-togethers and outings. We have regular trips away exploring historic and interesting places.

We have two monthly rallies, the 1st Sunday and 3rd Wednesday of every month we meet and travel together.

We also assist organising and running the Wings and Wheels biennial event held in January (Auckland Anniversary weekend) with the Hauraki Aero Club.

Membership is only $10 per year.

The Hauraki Aero Club www.haurakiaeroclub.co.nz was formed in 1935 and is situated at the Sir Keith Park Memorial Airfield just 3 km from Thames township on the Ngati Maru Highway 25.

We are away from the busy main airports and free from controlled airspace which can hinder progress. Trial flights and training are carried out from our Club airfield and over the surrounding Hauraki Plains. This provides an excellent environment in which to learn to fly.

Interested in aviation? Come and join us, for flying and a lot of fun!

Contact our Chief Flying Instructor Cliff McChesney 0274 805 454 and make a time to look over our training aircraft, talk about flight training and take a trial flight to see how much fun it is.

Trial flights cost $100.

*Prices subject to change at any time.
