Massey University campus, 1964

About this image

Reference NumberL-1-1-1-1-5.3Date1964Description

An oblique aerial view of the campus of Massey University.

Student Donald Ensor took this photograph one Sunday afternoon when he and fellow students, Chris Pollitt and Neal Hawes (part of the first intake of Veterinary students at Massey University), took a scenic flight over Palmerston North, the ranges, and Massey University in a small Cessna-type aircraft.

The image shows the start of the building programme of the 1960s and 1970s that rapidly expanded the University campus. Note the newly-completed Colombo Hall in the top right corner of the picture. To the right of it, the Riddet Building is being erected.

This was taken by Donald Ensor one Sunday afternoon when he, Chris Politt and I took a scenic flight over Palmerston North, the ranges, and Massey in a small Cessna-type aircraft. I remember it was the first time I had ever flown.
I think this might be the only copy of this photo in existence, since Don does not remember keeping one.
