Hi there,
Does anyone have images of the FU 24 flown by Alistair Carter who flew for Robertsons Air Service during the early 70's to mid 80's based out of Te Kuiti? His manager was Merv Thornton at the time I think.
I'd really like to know the fleet number of his aircraft but have very few photos (next to none) of his early flying days and would be forever grateful for any photos anyone can post.
Many fond memories of watching dad buzzing around the hills.
MC

Welcome to the forum. Are your mother's photos still around these days?
