Dave H mentions it towards the end of this WONZ Show Live podcast.

They are working on the P-39 currently, and from Dave’s photos there are are still a couple of P-40 fuselages in the work area.
So still in planning and additional parts acquisition stage.

The displays at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre (Blenheim, upper South Island) are of a similar style, also done by Weta Workshops.

And for comparison, a production example.

I can’t listen to myself (when I’ve done short bits for aviation podcasts) either!

Creaking Door

I suppose the armoured vehicle enthusiasts have issues with films as well…

Brother…..do we ever!!!

I know, there are a list of ‘observations’ on a photo I took of a Weta Workshops Panzer IV – so it happens to the best in the movie business!

As these are scans wouldn’t it be simpler just to load the whole lot to Flickr and use the Tag system to cover all the content features (OK, the one word restriction on Tags would mean you’d end up with “gearuplanding”)?

Rather than adding the tags in Flickr, use appropriate software to add the tags to the jpg files. Flickr (and other environments) read the tags embedded in the file, and use them – in Flickr’s case, additional flags can be added in Flickr itself (which aren’t then embedded in Flickr’s copy of the file).

For instance I use Adobe Lightroom to catalogue my photos (as do many professionals). It has tools to manage tags, including a hierarchical structure and settings about which tags get written to exported files.

If you download the ‘Original’ of one of my Flickr photos, the jpg you get includes the tags in the file that I loaded. The tags that Flickr auto-added (and any manually added in Flickr) are not included. You can see tags in jpg’s in most file utilities eg Windows Explorer, often you have to add the field ‘Tags’ to your viewing window to see them.

e.g. https://www.flickr.com/photos/errolgc/25636836708/
The tags without the grey background were auto-added by Flickr on upload.

The tags in the file are:
Ardmore; Auckland; Aviation; DHC-1 Chipmunk Mk22 ZK-SAX WK551; DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10 ZK-RFS WB693; NZAR; New Zealand; Static; Warbirds Open Day Nov 2017; de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk;

Lightroom is smart enough to let you mange the Keywords (tags) hierarchy. For instance, “de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk” is not explicitly attached to Lightroom’s catalog entry for that photo. The keywords for the two Chipmunks are, and they are under the keyword “de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk”, which is flagged to be exported. That keyword is in turn under “Post-WW2”, which is flagged to not be exported, so it isn’t in the jpg – it is just part of how I organise my keywords within Lightroom.

What does (US) in the caption signify?

During a presentation to a Wings Over NZ forum meet Pioneer Aero’s Paul McSweeny confirmed that they have a full set of factory drawings. The project is in storage while they acquire further parts. So currently the below are the only evidence in the Pioneer hangar.
