New Zealand Log Feb 2020.

[timjones]

Returning to New Zealand for another trip required a lot more planning and pre arranged appointments 18 in total but with some great results.



I'm staggered by the friendliness and co operation, a great thanks to you all over the 2 years from private collectors, restorers the RNZAF and RNZN.



All were seen during February, it will certainly be more challenging next year!

Are there ment to be pictures attached?

[Dave Homewood]

Tim, have you got permission from owners to mention everything you have seen in private hangars? As per rule 2 of the Forum Rules rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/2187/forum-rules-read

I just want to make sure you are not breaching anyone's trust here. Some of the projects you've listed may not be intended for public knowledge.

[Brett]

A1325 at Masterton is a BE.2f.

At Twenty24 in Wanaka they have three Staggerwings under restoration. www.odt.co.nz/regions/wanaka/staggerwing-be-sum-many-parts

[timjones]

I have not attached any pictures and did not intent to.

All locations were with prior permission as to a viewing and permission asked to take photographs in all cases, only one location requested no photographs to be posted. I hope I have not breached any rules but if you have any issues perhaps you could PM me?

All aircraft and locations listed in World Military Out of Service other than a couple of locations found from contacts in NZ.

Brett many thanks for the info there were 2 other frames but not identified by me.

A couple of additional serials.
