Question time # 107

I have another chocolate fish sitting wrapped on my table here for somebody !
All you need to do to get your teeth into it is to tell me:-

1.  What is this device ?

2. What aircraft type and model would you expect to find it hanging on ?

3. Would you care to place a NZ Civil registration on that aircraft ?

Oh pipped at the post. Saw it and thought L-39. And two different answers.... Ohh... But I have got to go with QW. Definately ZK-VLM.

Mit - you are the closest with one fact erroneous.

QW & Anonymous : you are both about 250km out.

"Blue" bus

Naki said...

Then it must be VH-KEE's tip tanks? (ex ZK-KEE)

Blue Bus said...

No.
Sorry but it is not ZK-KEE.

Mit said...

ZK-TSC In nelson (about the middle of the other two)

QW said...

Strobes/Nav lights

Blue Bus said...

Ha - Sorry Mit.

But it is not ZK-TSC either.

Mit said...

Oh Bugger! how about ZK-VLK?

Blue Bus said...

No Mit.
Aint that either.

Have a check look at the details of your reply of 27-07-2010 at 6.29pm

QW said...

So is it an L-39?

Theres three on the register at the moment and neither seems to be the answer.

So is a machine that was previously registered in NZ?

Blue Bus said...

Yes gents.
It is a currently NZ registered L-39.

ZK-WLM

Blue Bus said...

Evening JK.

No it is not ZK-WLM. (Mit has already suggest that).

JK said...

ZK-VLK

Blue Bus said...

Mornin JK

No.
It isn't ZK-VLK either.

So that narrows the field down somewhat. (also previously suggested by Mit),

Mit said...

Haha what a Muppet! That would be ZK-TCS! to be fair VLM not an L-39 either rather VLK!

Blue Bus said...

Well said Mit - & who am I to argue with your self diagnosis.

I suspected finger trouble all along TCS - TSC easy to do.

So well done finally.
It is indeed the Aero L-39 ZK-TCS.

I will post pics etc later tis evening when I get home from the factory.

Would you care to flick me your snail mail address for receipt of said chocky fish.
