Can you interpret the signature on it Joe?
Cowper? Allan?

That's neat - I guess that's a de Soutter?

Puss Moth I think.... (ZK-ACB perhaps?) Desoutters were a bit more angular, and although its difficult o tell from a small stylised sketch, the wing strut and undercarriage arrangement was a bit different - the UC struts went up to the wing a foot or so out from the fuselage - the picture looks like they may join the fuselage as on the Puss Moth.

Quite right. I hadn't thought about the Puss Moth, but I'm sure now you're correct.
I wonder if Ted Harvie's air service from Mangere gave out tickets. Or Mad Mac's Hamilton Airways for that matter. Both flew into Cambridge on occasion.

Definitely a Puss Moth, and ACB was the Auckland AC 'commercial aircraft' at that time.  Hamilton Airways did issue souvenir tickets (I've seen one) as did New Zealand Airways. Don't know about Ted Harvie doing the same. |
