For those of us deep in the southern hemisphere, we have just survived the shortest day of the year (it’s all uphill to summer from now on in) so to celebrate how about some Shorts?

segue ?? don’t think I’ve seen one of those.
I can confirm that ‘D’ was indeed NZ4107 – Last flight 2Apr67. WFU, sold to Australian Aircraft Sales, Sydney & scrapped at Hobsonville
No Shetlands ever in NZ, so they don’t count 🙂

Great photos, I was hoping the thread title would segue into the correct subject without being a red herring!
