Red Checkers Place – Named after the Red Checkers, the RNZAF aerobatic team. The team frequently performed over Wigram Air Force Base. Continues the theme of naming the streets in the subdivision after military aircraft and/or names having a connection with the former Wigram Air Force Base. The developers sought advice from the Air Force Museum. Named in 2005.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to it. A short street that backs onto what used to be the airforce base. Most the houses were modern brick houses built mid 2000s.
