ZK-LTA looks like it is unfortunately no longer with us. I think VGP posted a photo of this Cresco, but the source has now been deleted so here are a couple of ZK-LTA at Napier in 2006 doing a very late afternoon engine test run   |

Sad news about LTA, but lovely to see it. I'd not seen much of Farmers Air machines until about two months ago when my research kicked into gear.
Whatever happened to the wreckage of LTP I?

LTP 1 was in the hangar at hamilton for a number of years until sent to the scrap man. Told to me by a retired staffer of PAC who took it to scrap. Bear in mind it fell from above with no tail ,probably a bit messy.

The original LTP dug a huge hole for itself Zac.luckily the pilot managed to hit the silk beforehand.   |

Why is it such a secret that some of us here have to hide identities? E-mail I can understand but names, location etc I just don't get.

How do you mean Graham? This, as far as forums go, is pretty open and freindly in terms of revealing names. Many of the members who have psuedynoms as usernames reveal their real name in the Introduce Yourself thread in the General Board.
Is there someone specifically that you want to know the identity of perhaps? PM them.
Mind you it was interesting at the Forum Meet how many people asked me "Who is Pool Guy?" and they all had different theories. ;D
Welcome to the forum raysplanes. Nice to have another female member among us.

Maybe I should look in the Introduce Yourself section. Just that if you click on a Pseudonym, there is little or no info on the person behind. Just my moan for the day Dave.  |

Fair enough. I agree sometimes it would be nice to make a more personal contact with some members, at least get a first name from them. But most are very open I think.

KB, I believe most people here know who the logins are, but I for one have been most reluctant to post anywhere on the 'net using my real name because we all know there are some daft people out there! It's only a short step from a real name to an e-mail address, and at the moment I get virtually no spam, that is Zero, and nor do I want any! I guard my e-mail adress very carefully too, and it's strictly on a 'need to know' basis! |

Hi Kiwibeaver, my name and details are not a secret sorry if I offended you - I was putting these pics up on behalf of my husband who has a very big interest in Ag planes. I didnt have the time to do the introduce yourself section but I will get to this as soon as possible. As im sure you can appreciate, you can never be too careful with your identity  My husband used to work for Wanganui Aeroworks as a loader driver and has always loved planes and has numerous photos. Again sorry if i offended you or anyone else in the forum. |
