Is it trailing a wind out aerial in that last shot?

Is it trailing a wind out aerial in that last shot? Excellent spot Dave, you can also see it on the ground directly under the tail in the second shot of OHF.

Buggar, missed an XL 750 ZK-LAE across the ditch and on to a new home in Poland of all places! Funny and also interesting, her Keri Keri to Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island to Coolangatta sections of her crossing are listed on Flightaware but not her Norfolk to Lord Howe? I have seen this rarely on occasions before, would anyone have an explanation as ti why the middle leg of her trans Tasman flight wouldn't be included? See Flightaware link below. flightaware.com/live/flight/ZKLAE/history/20230406/0425Z/YLHI/YBCG

Couple of clips from a while back, Staggerwing "AMU" that crossed the ditch in 2008, now back in Wanaka with a gaggle of Staggerwings.
Two Antonov AN2s visited back in the 90's I'm pretty sure the blue on out of Brisbane went to Norfolk Island and back for an airshow. The Red and white job came from Lithuania, end up flying in one of the Warbirds at Wanaka show, pretty sure she resides with the Wanaka Toy and Transport museum, which maybe closed now? Watch out for the start up!

This one sneaked in this arvo, don't have any details as yet, currently on Norfolk Island so have my suspicions she may be heading south east? Screen shot from Flightaware at around 4pm local time, nearly on Norfolk Island. Short clip of her landing, incorporated stills with the video which I am sort of here nor there on, any thoughts?

Um, the old ZK-PDZ (2017-2020)

I was just about to post that but there was something that distracted me. I had to check Flight radar and XRE is not there but crossing the track that XRE is flying is three radar blips (with B numbers) which appear to be flying a track between Tahiti and Sydney. The show up as a light plane rather that an airliner, In the vacinity right now is a Jetstar aircraft heading to Sydney.

Just realised I had seen this one before or perhaps a similar painted one back on 19/10/2017. So putting two and two together this may have been when she flew to New Zealand to become ZK-PDZ or perhaps there are two of them with Aussie rego VH-SFX and VH-XRE?

This little beauty sneaked in and out today on her way to a new home in NZ, currently on Norfolk Island, don’t know much about her so hoping someone here does? Sure is s slick looking thing I believe a Czech design? Busy with work so couldn’t get her landing or taking off, did get a distant shot.

Tailwheel Bristell? I think. There are a few in NZ currently but all nosewheel equipped as far as I'm aware.
