Many of us have fond memories of Pat Donovan's formerly Omaka-based Lockheed 12 so it was wonderful to see this in the latest Warbirds Over Wanaka newsletter:
I've not been lucky enough to visit Wangaratta or see Doug's Lockheed in person but I know many forumites have, so this is very cool news indeed! Perhaps our own planecrazy will be able to get snaps of her on the way over?
As one Warbird is being readied to depart Wanaka for a new home in Australia two classic aircraft are about to make the opposite journey to call Wanaka Airport home.
Wanaka’s Rob Broek has sold his P-51 Mustang ‘Dove of Peace’ to Doug Hamilton who is based at Wangaratta in Victoria.[...]
As part of the deal to sell the P-51, Rob has agreed to buy a 1937 Lockheed Electra 12A from Doug. This “elegant solution” will see the Electra flown over the Tasman to Wanaka in the next month or so. The pilot will then jump into the P-51 to fly it back over to Australia.
