I just stumbled onto this on TradeMe. It's a nice looking aircraft, I hope it stays in NZ. Some nice photos on the listing.

This is a fantastic opportunity to own what Trevor Bland described as "one of, if not the best of type he had flown"

We would love to see her sold in NZ."

She certainly looked fantastic in her new paint at Omaka. I hope they manage to keep it in New Zealand too, as with its SAAF colours it certainly compliments the Harvard population in NZ nicely.

Totally agree with your comments Dave , I especially like the photo of it pulling up ,with what appear to be irrigation canals beneth . As you say , would be great to see it stay

Ya know, we here at Omaka would be very pleased to have her.....

Seriously though, it sure would be nice to keep her in NZ. A wee bit out of my price range, but stranger things have happened.
