Looks about 1/3 scale?

About 80% scale, not full-size to help with power distribution issues.

Gene also has the most hours of anyone ever in a Camel.
His job title is normally given as ‘Production Manager’. He is great to talk with, and I’ve never heard a bad interview with him.

Thanks David!
One day I hope to see one of the Snipe repros flying (the one time I was expecting to, WX canceled).

Reported on Wings Over NZ that they have started pouring concrete on this project.

Here’s the concept art for the Yak-3 display – one of the existing WW1 non-flying replicas is in a snow scene.

Has the OP ever made a single thread which is not just a blatant attempt to send us to his own website in order to drum up business? :rolleyes:

On any forum (I assume these are on more than the 3 I know about)?

Nothing is impossible….. Just expensive! 🙂
…
I think im correct in saying that Vintage aviator in NZ use new-made original design engines, in their flying reproductions.

Yes, the TVAL reproductions and originals are powered by rebuilt originals or new-builds of various types.

There are also modified Gnomes built by Classic Aero Machining Service in Omaka.

Does anyone have knowledge on the dampeners the RAF used?

Here is a Beaufighter example.

To nit-pick on a possibly relevant point, that’s an Australian-built and -operated example, isn’t it?

Without a doubt.

Wasn’t there something about Sidney Harbour Bridge or was that just a good Aussie story?

Surely the Americans have done something?

Kiwi aviation personality Fred Ladd flew a Widgeon under the Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1967, but he wasn’t the first.

Note that Brendon Deere’s Avenger is in Fred’s wartime markings.

ISTR talk of a RNZAF Sunderland sneaking under it at some point as well.

Wait until you get hassled for incomplete markings on the Spit! 😉
And using the wrong version of the Avenger for the RNZAF! :p

to a certain extent I agree but would rather it was another Hurricane.

We sent ‘ours’ over your way, not our fault it pranged! 😉
And we’ve started on your Mozzie.

No need to apologise! But I’m sure you’ll understand that if you are going to be blessed with a third Spitfire to be available for you to see on a semi-regular basis, then one that isn’t another Mk IX is a bonus!
