Lodestar Avenue in the suburb of Wigram, Christchurch

Lodestar Ave – In the Wigram Aerodrome subdivision by Ngāi Tahu Property Ltd where the street names are either of aircraft or taken from the list of the first 100 students at the Flight School established by Sir Henry Wigram in 1917. Named in 2012.A small amount of information from the library website and I can add that it is likely to be named after an aircraft called Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar which was a passenger transport aircraft from World War II.This street has mostly businesses at the Hayton Rd end to Vickerys Rd. From Vickerys Rd to Corsair Drive there is huge space on one side which probably belongs to the airforce with about 6 houses at the Corsair Drive end. On the other side of the street there are villas belonging to Lady Wigram retirement village and they actually looked quite nice even if exactly the same. Most had small but lovely gardens. There were also new buildings being built and these looked like a complex rather than villas. A couple of reserves and a small walkway which looked pleasant and of course I just might have been geocaching in the area.
