Hi Craig I still have her. She is in storage at the moment. Don't have the disposable income to restore her. I wont sell her and will keep her in original RNZAF(stock) condition. I am a bit of a History buff so can't imagine converting into a passion wagon...

Would it be ok if I post the link to the Ex Navy facebook page? A lot of the crusty old salts on there would probably enjoy it. Hi NM Not a problem. Marcus

Hi all
I finally completed the video I took during our visit to Otago in 2012. The video was made with an old Sony Handycam so not HD. The music I have added to the clip might not be everybody's cup of tea but I had nothing else suitable. There is a lot of of background noise so I do not have much of a choice adding music to the clip as I only have the cameras microphone to record sound with. Having said all of the above I believe the "old navy hands" among us will enjoy the clip.
Regards
Marcus

Hi all
A tad late, but here is a clip I put together of the at the Warbirds flying day. Still using my old non-HD Handycam, so quality not that good but the subjects of the video should make up for that.

Can't say much about being a pilot in the RNZAF... but good to see I am not the only geographer (teacher) here!
All the best with your flying endeavors!

My daughter is on Otago and he was her Captain for more than a year. She has the highest respect for him. A very good commanding officer!

Hi Arriving at her new "home" this morning. Striped out old, carpet... cleaned inside. She still has her LPG tank in the box like structure at the head of the short walk way. During which years would she have been running on LPG? Is this how she would have looked like while in service sans the med equipment? Does anybody have a photo of the inside with all the med equipment in place? Cab minus seat and lining. Lots of cleaning up done today! Engine which I know very little of at the moment. Cant find her engine number? Do know it is a 6 cylinder "Silver Diamond" engine. Daughter helping with the cleaning.

Hi all I know it is not a Mosquito or Anson.... but my ambulance "moved" for the first time in eight years today. We towed her out of the shed with the aim of getting her onto a roll-back. Unfortunately the chap with the roll-back had a call-out and we will only be able to bring her to my place tomorrow. She looks in fairly good nick but once in the sunlight it became evident that she will need a fair amount of work to get her roadworthy again. (Dave H, as she is not an aircraft should we keep the postings on this heading? Should we move it?) International (IH) AR 110 RNZAF Ambulance #37 Photo taken 4-10-2012

Hi Dave
As you chaps know way more about the RNZAF's history than I do, may I ask you to try and date the top b/w photo? Between the body of the ambulance and the tarmac is a Harvard and what seems to be a Devon with it's engine covers off. If my assumption is correct, what year/s could this pic have been taken?
When did the RNZAF phase out the International ambulances in favor of the Land-rower type?
Thanx
Marcus

Hi all
bae, Luther and SEAN, thank you for the help and photos.
If all goes well I should have her at my place by Friday. I will then be able to have a good look at her, inside and out and take more photos. I should be able to find her identification plates/serial numbers with the aim of doing a more in-depth research of her past.
