    Peter Jackson owns one as well as an original . I believe the replica is powered by a Ranger engine . He also now has his second SE5a and I think a Sopwith Triplane too .

    Aerial Mapping here lost what I believe was the oldest twin engined aircraft in commercial use , in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s , when their Monospar caught fire during refuelling . I think the cause was static electricity .

    I am very pleased that this had been as successfuly as it has , all credit to those involved . Clearly it is up to the people involved as to what becomes of the remains now , but I would like to see as complete and authentic an aircraft as possible as the end result . We have an “as found” at the FAA Museum .

    It is fairly clear that the New Zealand Boeings were , along with a few other early airframes , pulled out of the tunnels and burnt on the beach many years ago unfortunately .

    I was told by an RNZAF Techie that the single seat A4 Skyhawks were refered to a “the Model” and the 2seaters as “the Family Wagon” . The Strikemaster was “Bluntie”. The Boeing 727 was “Vomit Comet”

    It was a copy of Flight 777 that started this , the photo in it shows the aircraft as PH-ALI , I am interested to know how the aircraft looked while operated by BOAC , was this aircraft camouflaged , was it marked with the stripes under the registration , was the underside colour Sky or Silver ?
