These pictures are pretty old, but I have done the best I could with them. Don't know where they were taken, but I think two of the men are Tom Masters and Ian Wakelin. Does anyone know any more?   |

You beauty! Great photos!
Anyone still want to debate whether BNP was ever in the 1957 scheme in black?
Question is, was she like it from new? New with Cookson's 10/56, bent 9/2/60 at Kahika Station near Tutira while being flown by Jack McCurdy, rebuilt by Aerial Farming - and blackened then perhaps?

Aerial Applicators(Alexander Helicopters) loader,so it would be somewhere around Taupo spraying thistles on the big contracts that used to be about in those days..And the fact Lake Taupo is in the background gives it away a bit...  |

Aerial Applicators was 1960 - 1962.

It was suggested to me that I merge this thread with an older thread about Topdressing Piper Cubs, but since I don't know which thread is meant, and that these are about spraying and not topdressing, and it seems fine here by itself, I will leave it as is.

There seemed to be a distinct lack of getting airborne during the takeoff sequence in that video. At least it was a Cherokee 180 and not a 140! |

Dont forget the designer of the Fletcher also penned the Cherokee so it has ag heritage.
