Question time # 151 resolved (Near enough).

Question time #151 turns out to be the Bowers Fly Baby 1A about to be registered as ZK-CFB2 (c/n 71-23). It is the second of two imported through Lyttelton on 27-05-2011 by Lt Commander Padre Colin Hay of Waimate.Its history has been mentioned before in dispatches at :-

and

If you zoom in to the sign below the cockpit about the ejection seat you will gain some idea of Colin's sense of humour.
Now if you want a fun flying machine - I am sure if you speak nicely to Colin - you could come to some arrangement.
