A nice video to watch, despite the rough sound track. It's the Shuttleworth aircraft.
I have a bit of a liking for the Desoutter. It ranks up there as NZ's first cabin aircraft, the first arriving in May 1930.
Four came - ZK-ABX (Taranaki Airways/Hamilton Airways), ZK-ABY (Gisborne Air Transport/HB & EC AC), ZK-ACA (Dominion Airlines ) and ZK-ACJ (Stan Blackmore).
Although none of these have survived in any form, I have been fortunate to catch up with VH-UEE in the museum in Tasmania. I have some photos of that one I can dig out if anyone is interested.
