Blast from the past.

This tired olde faded photograph shows the Auster B.8 Agricola ZK-BXO (c/n AIRP-680) about to land on the Murphy's Road strip on the Paremata - Haywards -Hutt Valley Road sometime in the 60's.
Check out the earlier post and the link within :- http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2009/06/auster-agricolas.html
This Agricola is still current in the UK with Cliff Baker as G-CBOA and at the end of 2013 had 4682 airframe hours.
