Wow, that WIZ is a lovely looking Pitts, that's a really striking colour scheme. Who are the two chaps with the trophy?

The older of the two is Paul Marshall, President of the NZ Aerobatics Club and owner of Pitts S1-S ZX-WIZ. He was presented the trophy by Stuart Langley, Brian's son. Stuart is also a pilot - on Metroliners. Stuart arrived at the end of the day for the presentation. It was a special moment as Paul was also a business partner with Brian. I learnt to fly at Stratford Aeroclub 22 years ago with Stuart - and he still recognised me!!! Totally unexpected and an awesome finish to the day!!! Pitts S1-S ZK-WIZ is a 1981 factory-built machine that has been in NZ since 1989 thanks to Mr W Arnold and has been owned by great pilots like John Luff and Doug Brooker before being setup in a sydicate in 1999.

Bloody paparazzi!!!
Both the Giles and the Model 12 will be doing a display at the open day in February.
It will be the first public display of the 12, but there is the possibility it will be at Omaka at Easter.
