I doubt very much if this particular SE5a has been involved in a movie.
And there is a Peter Jackson connection...

Ding Ding Ding...We have a winner! This is the cockpit of ZK-SES, the younger (and equally attractive) sister of ZK-SEV, who first strutted her stuff at Classic Fighters last year. I don't think SES has flown yet.  |

I'm not based in Masterton, but I was over there for the Balloon Fiesta and called in to the Old Stick and Rudder Company hangar for one of their open days...and there it was!
It surprised me that it was on public view without any major fanfare. I suspected it was SEV repainted, but it has a plaque in the cockpit with the registration on it so I knew it was definitely the new one.

Nice to see, and it looks as lovely as the first one. Well done to the team who built them both.
