A De Havilland Puss Moth, registration ZK-ABR, possibly photographed in the 1930s.

First aeroplane (De Havilland 6) arriving at the old Feilding racecourse, August 1920, piloted by Captain Richard Russell. Photographed by Bert Hobday - who flew in the aeroplane later that day, taking the first aerial photos of Feilding. ​ Captain Russell, who was from Invercargill, had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Croix de Guerre during WWI - he spent his time after the war touring around New Zealand in his plane and offering flights to civilians in an effort to popularise flying. Tragically, Captain Russell was killed during one of these tours, when his Avro Avian plane stalled while descending onto the New Plymouth Racecourse in November 1920. Two passengers were also killed; Mayor James Clark, and chemist Kathleen Warnock.

Members of the public using the Feilding Carrying Company's early bus transport. This was almost certainly photographed before World War I. ​ 'Punch' Anderson of Haggitt Street, in October 1996, said that the vehicle had solid tyres and chain drive [in common with most commercial vehicles of the period]. The front lights were gas and there was a gig step for the passengers to use. It was probably the forerunner of a similar vehicle used by the company around 1925-26. It had a canvas cover which could be used over the back and was hired out to parties. Punch remembers his first trips to the beach being made in this vehicle.
