Yeah, it sure wouldnt win any beauty contest prizes, but then it wasnt designed to be a racehorse, it was designed to be a workhorse, a task that it filled very well.

Thanks Jon. The NAC Wings of the Nation era is one of my favourite NZ liveries.
I remember the Carvairs from when i was younger. They were doing a bread and freight run to the islands from the James Aviation base at NZHN for a while.
I dont remember what colours they were wearing at the time though, (memory fading in old age :lol:

). I even got to have a look inside one of them. Now that WAS a real buzz for a young fella like me.........
