PDL International Air Race Golden Jubilee Airshow

[Dave Homewood]

I recently added details on the PDL International Air Race Airshow at Christchurch back in 1987, here (follow the link and scroll down a couple of entries).

Does anyone have details to fill the gaps on the pilots, crew, aircraft serials, etc? Thanks to Craig Brankin who kindly provided the details shown by sending me an original programme for the event.

The CAF Beech C-45 (actually a D.18S) was/is ZK-TEX.

Thanks Peter, I should have known that.

I imagine the Fokker Dr.I was ZK-FOK.

The unknown Cheyenne may be entrant #41 ZK-KPH, as seen here: 3rdlevelnz.blogspot.com/2012/03/25-years-ago-pdl-international-air-race_30.html
