Great photos James , the AN-2 .. funny no one wanted to buy to fly, that Lodestar that was also running , think may have been the 1994 Wanaka Warbird but it was not allowed to fly, no certificated .

The 21 , wonder if that was the same one floating around the country for a while, course there was a Canberra as a gate guardian and a Centurion battle tank.

The ole Macci looks worst foe wear !

i couldn't get over how big the an-2 is its a behemoth of a thing for a single engine! and yea its a real shame it's not flying along with the lodestar I was talking with the guy who runs the museum who let me into the f27 cockpit and hes really keen to get his hands on some more air nz aircraft but they need more funding

We, me and Greg were at the Wigram Museum yesterday and since the EQ's the hanger are just as chocker as its the only place to store the Canterbury and Lyttleton museum items .. least they have a larger base and reason to continuous build and extensions .

Great shots .... but sad as well . WTH is that Macchi about

Great stuff GB.
Loving that stair-truck thing, what the hell breed is that? Looks very British?

Based on an old Bedford i think deeknow.

Hard to believe that Fokker was my office for a few years! I couldn't believe what struck me when I did my first famil flight. It was AA to TG at night in a 100 series. It was not a flash night with BC's "lurking with intent" (as Jim Hickey would put it) over the Kaimai ranges. With the wrought iron contol column, the red flood lit panel, the noise and the flashes of lightning it reminded me of what it must have been like in a Lancaster over Germany on a night bombing run!

thats awesome, I used to pax to HN from NV as a wee nipper the friendship was what made me want to be a pilot. I was like a wee kid again last week sitting in the front of the old girl I didn't even know the wanaka museum had one

Unmistakable - I forget what GM-UK called their Bedford 30cwt Van, but I am sure you all remember the Bedford Dormobile, ancestor of all today's campervans

First aircraft I worked on as a "hairy" for ANZ, great memories... what rego do they have there? Looks like BXH, but my eyes are a bit blurry tonight...
