Hi, I'm not familiar with the Wing Directory. Do you possibly mean White Wings, which is about ships that sailed to NZ. If it is this you want there is a copy on-line. If you google White Wings Zealand you come up with the copy on the site: www.nzetc.org.
I hope this helps. Craig.

Sorry, might have put you wrong there, I see there is a Wings Directory starting 1993 about all things aeronautic in NZ. There may not be a copy here in Christchurch due to earthquake problems but there is the series available in the National Library in Wellington. There might be someone who can look this up for you.

Thank you Craig, I didn't know Wellington had them, hopefully someone will be able to do the lookup.

Hi Helen

Why not try using the "Ask a Librarian" service at the National Library / Alexander Turnbull Library ?

They're usually happy to assist (as long as it's not a request which would involve lengthy searching on their part.)    ;)

You can also try White's Aviation who published the annual "Whites air directory" a list of people, companies and so on involved in NZ Aviation. i have a copy of the 1980 edition.  At that time I was a dierctor and company secretary of James Aviation Limited.
