Here's a photo Dad took of ZK-BUV (scanned from an old slide) at Gisborne's Darton Field circa-Christmas 1983.  Has anyone got a photo of its current condition? Is it still in the Fieldair livery? |

The Loadstar is now in the Gisborne Preservation Society's hangar and has been there for the best part of 10 years along with an Avenger. Last time I saw it they had done a bit of work around the tail section. It is a big job but I heard they have plenty of spare parts. I also heard their DC3 is now under cover. They do have a web page, but I cannot remember what it is

Can anyone share what progress has been made on BUV's restoration since 2007? I'd love to see an update if possible.
