Mangere Aerodrome was the original home of the Auckland Aero Club. It is now the site of Auckland Airport. ==Early years== Established in 1928, after purchasing farmland on the northeastern edge of the vast Manukau Harbour near the (then) small town of Mangere, the aero club allowed aircraft owners a place to enjoy their 'hobby' without offending the residence of Auckland.〔History of New Zealand Aviation, 1976〕 In 1936 passenger air travel was inaugurated by Union Airways from Mangere as part of the fledgling main trunk air route linking Auckland with Wellington and Christchurch. Union Airways built a large hangar to house its Lockheed Electra and de Havilland Express airliners, also building a comfortable passenger terminal building of the era. Mangere Aerodrome's claim to fame was when it was the arrival point for New Zealand aviator, and aeroclub member, Jean Batten's solo flight from the United Kingdom in 1936.〔Reaching for the Skies, An end to Isolation|Television New Zealand,1989〕
