Corsair Drive in the suburbs of Hornby/ Wigram, Christchurch

Corsair Drive – Named after the Vought F4U Corsair, an aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Named to continue the military aircraft theme in the Wigram subdivision. Named in 2000.

A wee bit of information from the library website and there is nothing that I can add to it. Personally I feel that this street belongs in Wigram but the Christchurch suburb list has it in Hornby. This road is probably a little bit more interesting as it has the original control building for the airport. There is also the Lady Wigram retirement village here. At one end there houses were slightly older but are still modern houses. There was a row of new houses and they looked very small.
