Taking your FIRST and LAST INITIAL and add them to ZK-A what vintage aircraft are (were) you on the NZ register according to the website below www.dave.wise.btinternet.co.uk/DWNZindex.htm#indexMy initials are MB which would make me ZK-AMB a Shorts Sandringham. ;D As another example Dave Homewood would be ZK-ADH, a DH-83 Fox Moth. As with Dave I will endevour to see if I have a picture of "you". ;D Over to you. By the way this idea is not original, I pinched the idea off another forum and I admit it I'm a wee bit bored. P.S. using my full initials (MAB) would make me ZK-MAB a Beech Super King Air now flying with the Guatemalan Air Force.

Typical, fall at the first fence, out of 145 different NZ registered Tiger Moths that I have pics of I don't have one of ZK-ALP. Duh-oh! BTW, I see that ZK-ALP was NZ654, the 5th RNZAF Tiger, Its amazing that one of the originals made it through the war to get on to the civil register. (The 1st one NZ650 also made it)

ZKA-AW DH60G Moth 1197 circa Oamaru 12/36 As soon as you came online I checked -AAW but the closest I have is DH-60 -AAU, just out of interest what are your full initials (ZK-A?W), I might have better luck.

Well here I am/are then. AWJ. A potted history is as follows. The De Havilland 82A Tiger Moth (ZK-AWJ) is one of the most popular and well known biplane aircraft in the world. The aircraft modelled here served as a super phosphate topdresser in the Hawkes Bay, New Zealand in the 1950's. The DH 82A was New Zealand's most common aircraft type, being used largely by aero clubs and agricultural companies in the post WWII era. We will be releasing a number of different livery versions of the Tiger Moth when this design becomes available. I did manage to topdress in the Hawkes Bay by all accounts (sorry pool guy) but I appear to be very small, in fact I seem to be dwarfed by a computer key board. Oh well such is life.
