. . . there is at least one in NZ Is this the same type as the G Pereira GP-4? Osprey is George Pereira's company that markets plans for the GP-4. Refer www.ospreyaircraft.com/home.htm |

Thanks for the info Bearcat.
It all gets a bit confusing when the same design has several name derivations.

This is one used for detecting large concentrations of metallic substances I presume? Or is it photographic survey?

Gee, look at how grubby it was. I assume it was not in service. It looks smaller without the roundels and markings.

What happened to the other RNZAF 727? I know one of them was listed on eBay at one point.

That looks better in its new colours, but a pity they forgot to mask some of the windows.  |

NZ7272 resides in the Aeronautical Training Squadron hangar at Woodbourne alongside the other airframes used for training. Well, most of it does, the tail section is rotting outside alongside the jet engine test bay.
