Marx Jones, the pilot who flew over Eden Park during the final test match of the 1981 Springbok tour, says he is yet to apologise to All Black prop Gary Knight for flour-bombing him.
The 64-year-old semi-retired builder told the Herald he last met up with Knight outside court before his 1982 trial.
"We were outside the courtroom one day and we said to him, 'You won't be doing that [play the Springboks] again, will you?' And he said, 'I'd bloody do it again tomorrow'."
Jones' flyover was inspired by fellow anti-apartheid protester Pat McQuarrie, who stole a light plane from Taupo and threatened to dive it into a stand at the Springboks' called-off tour match against Waikato at Rugby Park.
Jones hired a Cessna from Dairy Flat and with Grant Cole set off for Mt Eden armed with 100 flour bombs and anti-tour propaganda.
