John Smith opened his shed door for a peek from the corner. The Mosquito dominates the shed with the P-51 facing the opposite way off the left wing. The wings of the Kittyhawk are outside the shed and the wings of the Harvard's are stood in front of the Mosquito. I did not see the fuselages of the Kittyhawk's or Harvard's. They are tucked underneath on the far side of the Mosquito. Nothing has moved for sometime there is a small door into the shed but you can't have a look around. Its full, he also collects cash registers etc.

The complete front of the shed opens but it has trees growing in front of it preventing opening.

Murapara UH-1H cab should be 69-15616

[johnnyfalcon]

Did you miss out on The Vintage Aviator Ltd at Hood? And Wigram has a Thunderbolt II???

That's very, very interesting, fresh eyes in our fields.

[timjones]

Hood I was told is out of bounds at the moment. Some unauthorised selling?

No sign of a Thunderbolt at Wigram.

Tim.

[johnnyfalcon]

So what is this? Quote:"Outside being stripped to bare metal (44-34081) OA-10A"

[timjones]

It's an OA-10, Catalina.

[johnnyfalcon]

Cheers!

[baz62]

The MB339 cockpit section is a mockup supplied if memory serves me correctly by Drakken. That right Don?

[isc]

Is the Flying Flea not at the Transport and Toy Museum now, it was up stairs in the toy part of the museum(can't remember it's rego). isc

[timjones]

Yes I think the MB339 is a mock up.

The flying flea may still be there, I don't normally note those.

Cheers,

Tim.

Notman's Flea, ZM-AAC.
One of NZs more successful - it did fly, back in the day.

What about Biggin Hill at Ohakea?

[timjones]

Sorry for the delay the aircraft are with Dave Chambers S36.87455 E174.48366 an appointment would be advised.

Cheers,

[planewriting]

Regarding the Bethells list, I understood Vampire NZ5758 is at Ferrymead in Christchurch. Denys, am I correct? Also I thought Wasp NZ3904 was at Devonport. Comments please.

[denysjones]

Greetings Peter.

I hadn't read all this post so had missed that matter.

The thing that most people don't know about our Vampire is that it is a cobbled up beast presumably made so by Woodbourne at the disposal time and then further by our guys.

The booms were clearly marked on arrival as INST196 which makes them ex NZ5758. The wings equally clearly arrived with underwing serials NZ5753.

The fuselage of course had no external marks but I recall it had a RAF serial on the front bulkhead which began with VZ which is consistent with it being NZ5758 which was VZ838. I'll see if anyone has a photo of it to nail that as perhaps it's even another one.

Anyway we disposed of that fuselage due to its condition being poorer than another one we also held and now have installed. It is one that spent considerable time, as a solo item, on the Wigram fire dump before being liberated by Malcolm (?) MacDonald. He was the guy from down Invercargill way who collected mossie stuff down there before joining the RNZAF as a pilot trainee but, I'm told, failing the course and evaporating, leaving said fuselage pod and two very sad mossie wing sections in 6Shed Wigram whence we collected them.

That fuselage had it's RAF serial WA314 on the bulkhead and on that basis it was id'ed as NZ5775.

So what serial is our Vampire? Good question perhaps we should allocate it NZ5779 as a new build!

[paul1953]

Amazing List!!!  Many thanks for sharing. It will help me during my 5 week visit to NZ in November coming . Time and route permitting.

One could say "pictures, or it didn't happen"........

Great meeting you and your lovely wife today Tim! Hope the rest of your trip goes well, and you enjoyed seeing WE552/HKG-4
