Great photo Noel, I'm sure some of the Ceres fans here will love that. Welcome to the forum!

Keep 'em coming Noel, great pic!
I'm guessing that's Bruce McMillan somewhere near Taumarunui

I'm scanning slides for my cousin who is from Ohura so somewhere near Taumarunui, where I'm from, makes perfect sense. Thanks for the extra info - much appreciated.

From the Ceres book ZK-BXW or ZK-BXY If it's Barry Cook in BXY it would be a very rare photo - she only lasted a hundred and something hours |

Thanks Baron - that solves it!
Just found the colour photo of the Aerial Farming get-together in December 1961 and I see BVS was all over silver too and BXW and BPU as you said above
So is there any chance of a shot of BXY and Barry Cook? Did he fly it for most of those 123 hours? Based Taumarunui?
