Yes, too damp.
I noticed some media reports mentioned that the Pup was Sir Peter’s. However it is not either of TVAL’s Pups, but Chariots of Fire’s ZK-SPH, a Pfeiffer-built Le Rhone powered 1961 replica. The Anson Mk1 is Robin and Bill Reid’s Nelson-I-mean-Omaka-based ZK-RRA.

There is a bit about the visit on the Omaka AHC site – and it is not too early to start planning your visit to Classic Fighters Easter 2015 🙂

Presumably prep for the visit was the reason for a RNZAF B757 landing at Queenstown for the first time.

TVNZ News clips are not normally geo-locked, so you should be able to see some NZ coverage online.

Yes it has! And the Solent is now below the Ag Wagon (single prop hanging furthest away), added Skyhawk, Macchi, Devon, Dakota, Auster, and more. The restoration hangar was near empty last I was there, as the Avenger was about to go into the main hangar, and a couple of WW2 twins are moving in there from outside.

I was going to say “Oi! Don’t take _all_ of ‘our’ SE5a’s!”, but then I realised that the more of them go, the more variety of types stay here. As it sounds like we aren’t going to get an ANZAC Day show here (April 25th, that I’d penciled in going to), looks like I’ll be fore-going the Nov 8-9 re-enactment weekend 1.5 hours drive away for the TVAL airshow an hour’s jet ride and 2.5 hours of driving away.

I’m sure the owners of many UK ex-military aircraft such as the B17 are asking the same question. I’d hate to see the CAA ban the Lanc flying because of this (they have to have permission to fly in UK airspace), so best they sort it out prior to the trip over..

If this aspect hasn’t already been sorted out then those promoting the exercise have been shockingly negligent.

I’ll leave the detail of getting photos off an iPad to someone else, but here is my most relevant photo of TVAL’s first F.E.2b’s prop, with scale reference points 🙂

Good work!
I’ll be visiting from NZ next week, planning for Thursday afternoon. Especially keen to see the DAP/GAF aircraft.
