Sholto Duncan Crescent in Halswell – too new to be on library website.
This street was named after one of the victims of the 1953 collision between two planes. The planes were part of a fly past that signalled the end of the celebration of the 1953 London to Christchurch Air Race. Sholto was born in 1912 and lived in Nelson. His father owned several hotels and a brewery. During World War Two he was a fighter pilot in the Pacific. He was also a flying instructor. He was on his annual refresher training when he died. Papers Past only had one article about the accident but there was a more recent article when the memorial plaque was unveiled in 2018.
The houses here were built in 2018 and 2019 and are on only side of the street. None of them stood out for me and I didn’t take any photos.
