Perhaps it should say Bristol Fighter ?

Good point. Or perhaps they're referring to the paperwork for the Ardmore Freighter?

You're probably right there Grant, as one did go to Aussie, but it was not historic as such.

ZK-JNU was a replica not a historic machine, with a Ranger 200hp engine.
Doe H1279 have any NZ connection?

It looks more like a Bristol Fighter than ZK-DDX looks like a 400HP Fletcher FU24-950. H1279 was built up in Wellington. |

Yes, but why would it be on an official list of historical items exported?

I still suspect the journalist must have seen the Ardmore Freighter on a list of items given permission for export, even if it has not happened yet.
