Various reports (eg Classic Wings) state that this Avro has returned to Ireland and has now resumed life as EI-ALU, yet CAA still list ZK-AVR as current with Jim Schmidt. Has the aircraft actually gone from New Zealand yet?  |

Well I guess that's fairly conclusive proof then, thanks.
CAA limping painfully behind with the paperwork again.

Unless Baldonell is one of those new south Auckland suburbs with the Irish names of course...

Yeah, I doubt you'd squeeze one more house into that place.

Yes a very old, 10 years, thread but I guess the best place to ask, can anyone tell me
why the Avro Cadet has a De havilland tail, almost looks like Avro purchased them
from the De havilland factory?
Thank you

I agree, the original had a straight leading edge, the rudder is the same shape as far as I can see. isc

Both the Avro 643 MkII Cadet and its predecessor(?) the the Avro 638 Club Cadet are shown in the 1980's Illustrated Encyclopedia (sic) of Aircraft with the de Havillandish looking fin/rudder. Incidentally the Avro 626 Prefect (NZ603) has the same characteristic shape which seems to occur on about half of Avros early types.
