Lovely photos, DCW. The members at Key Publishing Forum are losing their minds over these!

So how many Snipes have TVAL built? Is there a NZ resident? As far as I know, they have built one for Kermit Weeks, one for RAFM, one due to go to Poland? and this one..... Hard to keep track....

Not sure about Poland but I count three that are publicly known: RAFM, Kermit Weeks and WAHT.

Thanks, Brett.
Zac - the suggestion that SBY was going to Poland was posted on this thread - just trying to confirm this?
If it does leave, does this mean TVAL won't have a Snipe of its own?

Currently SNI and SBY are the only ones on the NZ register, so yes, if SBY goes then that is it (unless they build more).

There are many rumours about ZK-SBY. We will just have to wait. On ZK-SNI, it may only be on loan in the UK, again we just have to wait. Enjoy them when you can.

Slightly off-topic but nevertheless a TVAL connection. Have a look at Pg63 of the Duxford Diary 2015 on Key publishing to see TVAL's very own Bevan Dewes sitting o the tailplane of a two seat Spit taxying at Duxford......... perhaps but not quite his wish to be in/(on?) a two seat Spit while he is in the UK.

Well spotted Ando! I didn't realise at first, I was jealous of he and his companion!

Obviously the Brits suffer from the same affliction as most other countries... "Penpusher" on that forum thought that because he flies for TVAL and owns a Chippie that he is the pilot taxying the Spit.... everyone thinks that just because your not 60 and you have youth very much on your side that a young person with ability cannot possibly be a display pilot or own an aircraft !
