2) When pipe band was unit of Air Force.

The distinction of being the official band of the R.N.Z.A.F. Station, Weraroa, fell to the Horowhenua Pipe Band during World War II. Bandsmen were made honorary members of the Air Force, were equipped with Air Force uniform and paraded every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. for Wing Parade. They also entered camp for the weekends. For the period it was known as the Levin R.N.Z.A.F. Highland Pipe band.

3) Scotty showed 'em!

An early carnival held by the Levin Amateur Swimming Club billed the appearance of "Duke Kahanamaku". At the appointed time he appeared and did 25 yards in about 8 seconds- with the aid of a rope which pulled him to the end.
