The P-40 Currawong fired it’s guns (with blanks) at Wanaka in 2012, several photographers captured muzzle flashes (and falling casings).

A quick search on you tube should find two videos of the Mossie + vampire photo shoot, one from right seat, one from a helicopter. Also, a Venom should join them at Wings Over Wairarapa in a month.

There is a discussion on Wings Over NZ about the difficultly of finding (part-)Maori aircrew based on name alone.

Photos help a lot!

Google lead to http://www.flickr.com/photos/fgdvcappellen/1180284051/ and a mention in the Official history.

Note that there are significant numbers of Yugoslav (many Dalmatian) settlers in Northland (North Auckland Province), so the Croat/Maori marriage is by no means unusual.

P/O Stanley Gordon White had flown a De Havilland DH 60G Gipsy Moth ZK-ADT ex G-AAJO from the UK to Australia (and shipped to NZ) in 1934

ZK-ADT is now back in with the White family, see

OK, I was joking on WIX when I hinted that using a Canadian C-17 might be an easier way to get it across the Pacific than a USAF one! :diablo:

Everyone should remember that US and English libel laws are very different. A practical perspective on the impact on those who host the comments of others can be found in point 5 of this FAQ

Jerry Yagen must be having trouble sorting out the transport, if anyone has a summer holiday in New Zealand planned, you want to be at Wings Over Wairarapa (90 minutes NE of Wellington) Jan 18-20. You might want to book the train pronto.

It is scheduled to display at Ardmore’s Warbirds Open Day this weekend also.

Also, the Syrians have been using L-39s.

This will give you the TVAL reproductions (they are a certified manufacturer).

http://www.regosearch.com/search/results/?&co=nz&Nf1=manu&Of1=eq&Vf1=The+Vintage+Aviator

As this is the CAA register, the two in the UK are included (or were when I looked last week).
There are a couple of other Pups worth looking into as well – I think we are at three flyers and counting.

Note that the actual manufacturer of replicas is inconsistently recorded in the CAA register.

Note that several of the 487 squadron crew were (are?) New Zealanders. See http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-2RAF-c12.html#n362

Try here, Dave Homewood (the site admin) recently organised the NZ Mosquito veterans to attend the Mosquito airshow here in NZ.

Flightpath and Aeroplane are a closer pair than Flypast with either.
It’s clear from the shadows that each photo was taken at least on a different pass. I don’t know if they were different flights.

http://cap-photography.blogspot.co.nz/2012/11/latest-cover.html

Also, some background on the ‘convertible’ Trojan used for at least one photo flight (which I’d already posted on the ‘Mossie helmet camera’ thread.)

Interview with the owner of the ‘stash’ at
http://www.cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html#Ep16

Topic: Neville Mines, known as ‘Shorty’ in his RNZAF days and on the Wings Over New Zealand Forum, is a fascinating mine of information (pardon the pun). His long and extraordinary background in aviation includes Air Training Corps, volunteering at the Museum of Transport and Technology in its earliest days, a long career in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, saving warbirds across New Zealand and from the jungles of Papua New Guinea, working for Mount Cook Airlines and much more.

He has also been a longtime prolific photographer of all things aviation, and his photo “stash” have become legendary on the Wings Over New Zealand Forum.

That certainly wasn’t the attitude of the photographer (Gavin Conroy)!

http://cap-photography.blogspot.co.nz/2012/10/spitfire.html

Also see his comments on the ‘convertible’ Trojan used for an earlier shoot.
