Tokoroa Airfield Open day 17 April 2010

[Bruce]

On Saturday went down to Tokoroa for the annual autumn fly - in held there. It was a bit cloudy, and as always pretty cold, but there was a great turnout of visiting aircraft - Quite a varied selection in fact.
Following are some photos, excuse the poor lighting levels, the cloudiness wasnt ideal:

Phil Hooker using the Bell 47 as a bottle opener


One of the two Mosquitos present also has a go:


Various Gyrocopters:


General view of visiting aircraft - quite a variety of shapes!


Easily the ugliest aircraft - Ganagobie Mousebird JLO :


Nicer looking classics:




Could be a scene from 40 years ago: (Tiger Moth, Auster J1 and Ford Prefect)


Nice new PiperSport (ex SportCruizer) from the Chzech Republic:


Compatriot Zlin Savage:


'Hooks' tries out Bruce Belfields Safari - an interesting comparison with the bell 47

Great shots, Bruce.

As you said, a good turnout of aircraft, despite the weather.
