Very nice photos, TSMIV, thank you for sharing!
It seems like not much has happened on the estate since the demolition of the main house, though.
Funny to see that the Paradise Helicopters chopper now has the team ring, right on the spot where previously were the signatures of Larry and Roger. Maybe they were worn off by time. Did you fly with Josh?

Hi robbie308,
I didn’t actually fly in the chopper - I was one of those sad groupies who just wanted to take a look at it.
The Paradise Helicopters staff member that I spoke to was a really nice chap - when I approached their premises he was closing the main gate and was just about to close up for the day but, when I inquired if it would be possible for me to take some photos of the helicopter, he readily agreed and then even offered to take some photos of me standing in front of the chopper! (Very decent of him given that I was going to spend any money)

Got them all saved into my "Pahonu" picture folder. Thank you!
Any shots of the gate house? I'm guessing it's also still standing (at least for now..
)
Great story about the cufflinks...have never seen those before! Very neat.
Looking forward to any more pics you care to share.
Hi there 308GUY,
My pleasure and I’m glad that you enjoyed the photos.
My apologies but I didn’t get any photos of the gatehouse
(although I recall that it was still there when we drove by the front gates). I think I’ve got some photos of the gatehouse that were taken when my family and I visited Pahonu in 2017 - let me see what I can dig up for you

In search of the King Kamehameha Club, I tried to grab a couple shots of the (i) front entrance and (ii) car park of Elks Honolulu Lodge. Again, apologies for the inferior quality of some of the photos
- given my ongoing iPhone camera related issues, I was using my 10 year old iPod as a back-up…..

This is great - could I ask a favor?
Any way you could post the high resolution (like your first attempted posting) of the shot with the turtle enclosure and rabbit island in the background? Also, any of the ones with the seawall or the shot of the iconic stairs leading to the beach gate?
Awesome job on the pictures, these are the best pictures I've yet to see of pahonu. I'd really like to get the ones mentioned and have one framed to be honest with you. We don't have much left anymore but thanks to fans like yourself and this board we do have something!
Happy 50th chap, and happy memorial day everyone
Sincerely,
Nha Trang

Many thanks Terry,
I’m glad that you enjoyed them - our glorious Magnum Mania site was my bible for locating all these iconic filming locations! It’s a strangely surreal process when you’re standing at one of these locations and trying to identify the ‘Magnum elements’ of the immediate landscape. However, with a bit of persistence (and intensely focussed imagination), I was able to visualise Thomas, Higgins, TC and Rick walking around….

Hi Mac,
My pleasure and thanks to you, 308GUY, K Hale and Mr Keoki for the nice comments about the cufflinks. My wife actually outdid herself with getting presents for my 50th birthday - she also bought me a replica team ring!
Here’s a photo of me displaying the ring whilst at the same time channelling my inner George Costanza hand model. I don’t wear it around normally - it has pride of place on the shelf in my mancave..
