Yup certainly is a Hercules sleeve-valve radial.
Unsure of the "half" of the car behind the Minor in the Freighter.

Brings back memories of flying on NAC (well, briefly for me).
I would love to have gone on a flight in a TEAL Electra or one of these.

Greetings, This xmas just gone, we went down to Christchurch. I caught up with Anthony Galbraith ( AGalbraith on the forum). I used to go to school with him more than 2 decades ago and hadn't seen him in that time so the reunion was awesome !!! I was very pleased and grateful when he asked if I would like to see around Ferrymead where he works there still. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in and see the Mossie which is under restoration but he did tell us all about the history and what's the latest with it. It does look like it's coming along well, from what I could see behind the window. However, he did show us the LC-47 and the Viscount of which I got some pics up close. Big huge thanks again, Anthony. Here's the LC-47H

Alrighties, a race is it? How about we make it a little more "interesting" and do it off-road also. My "race-bred Paris-Dakar inspired" Pajero will be waiting at the finish for you guys who are hopelessly stuck and needing my assist to pull your vehicles out..... (just a p1ss-take, peoples) ;D ;D ;D ;D
