Took these photos on Sunday 14th Dec-14 over at Hood Aerodrome. I was told it wouldn't be staying in NZ.

It has a new build Bentley BR2 rotary engine

Late version of the Snipe with balanced ailerons and rudder

Lovely finish, just perfect

Well done to all the talented people at TVAL, just brilliant, as ever

Bravo TVAL!
