Here are some photos of Rob Mackleys beautiful Stearman.
The shots were taken in January this year soon after the restoration was completed.
It is a first class rebuild and is being flown here by Stuart Tantrum.
Wayne Tantrum came along in recently restored Tiger, ZK-BMY.
A nice days flying with some great people.

Have just added a folder of photos to my website as well.

Very nice photo's!!
Love these old Boeings. Saw Whitsunday several at Oostwold airshow, but have't a good camera at the moment.
I made some pictures with a Sony Cybershot: not your quality Gavin!!!!

gavin.gif The shiney new coat of paint on that aircraft almost makes it look like a toy model in some of those shots.

Seen her a few times in and out of Ardmore- just love it. Thanks for sharing the snaps.
