NZ hosted a combined meeting with Australia in 1974 at the International Hotel, Rotorua.
The Society logo of an ascending aircraft with an entwined serpent was adopted at that time and the National Airways Corporation of NZ provided seeding funds for future educational activities – which later became the Patterson Visiting Lecturer Trust in recognition of the NAC Chairman, Mr Douglas Patterson.
