Any significance to the new rego? Or does this one sum up our sentiments: Brendon’s--- Hot(as)‘ell---‘Tang (Oohh!!). Biggin Hill Trust |

RAAF Citizen Air Force aircraft often had callsign letters.....could there be a NZ equivalent and BHT was assigned to 2423? Stab in the dark......

The registration ZK-BHT stands for "Biggin Hill Trust" The original allocation of BHT on the civil register was to a Fletcher owned by Wanganui Aero Work. Brendon sought permission from the company to use that registration on
the Mustang

The gentlemen above are correct, the rego is for "Biggin Hill Trust". Here's an update (FB link): some visitors, and now she's ready.

I just brought this to Brendon's attention. He responded, "Thanks Dave. We have that as a digital copy." |

Pity John Smith wasn't there to see it. Congratulations to all who had anything to do with the resurrection of such an iconic aircraft  |

It is simply great to see NZ2423 in the air. I never would have thought it possible to rebuild an aircraft like this in such a short time frame. It has literally taken me longer to build half a 1/32 Mustang in plastic than you have required to rebuild the prototype. Astounding work and brilliant workmanship! Thank you once again for taking us along for the ride. I trust NZ2423 can remain airborne for decades to come.
