Here is an article from the New Zealand Herald about the new replica Spitfire that is soon to be erected in Parana Park in Hamilton, New Zealand. I thought some here may find it of interest

Indeed, I hope to be present when it flies in. That will be a site and a half. I hope they arrange to have TB863 do a flypast during the dedication once it’s mounted on the plinth. Or at least some Harvards or something.
Maybe even some of Mr James’ Fletchers would be good.
Incidentally another off-topic Hamilton-related event, the first PAC 750XL has arrived in the UK yesterday. See here
