Jeez Errol you didn't waste anytime! Great photo, what a lovely paint scheme on a sleek biplane. (Cant say that about too many biplanes..maybe the Hawkers?)

Don't ya just love this time of year in good ol' NZ? Cooler nights, dew in the morning, warm days, crisp clear stable air , and the full moon at Easter. Just magic.
Oh, and tho occasional classic aeroplane...

Baha thanks Errol! And she's one of "ours", no less.
Some cool stuff so far, and doesn't the Staggerwing look beautiful?

I think there were two WWI MkIV tanks or replicas in NZ courtesy of Peter Jackson I believe. I have seen photos of them moving around on Lambton Quay, Wellington (again, I think) prior to loading on transporters.
That one there is towing the Tiger tank to assist with track repairs or fitting.
It's definitely going to be a fun weekend!! Have fun guys and gals!

We have two Pups here this weekend, kept this one from TVAL secret until now and a lot of people were surprised to see it here.   Ground set up.  Photo from the media flight, bit different being on the other end of the camera for a change. Was taken from the Yak 3 and so glad it all came together as a lot of work went into it. Special thanks to everyone involved especially to Sounds Air as we were able to take 11 media people along for the ride.  |
