Edwardian Era Replica Flying Machines of New Zealand - the Pither Monoplane

I have posted on the Edwardian Era Pither Monoplane previously at:  https://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-pither-monoplane-replica-at.html  In this post I outlined a brief history of Pither's machine and the replica that was constructed by Colin Smith in the early 2000s.

I also noted that the replica Pither Monoplane flew several straight line flights at Mandeville on 18/2/04, flown by Gerry Chisum.  Above is a photo of one of those flights, copied from a Stuff article of the time.

Now to update the story, on 13/1/15 the aircraft was registered ZK-JAH2 (c/n 1) to the Croydon Aircraft Company of Gore, and it is photo'd above as such, rolling under its own power at the 2015 Classic Fighters airshow at Omaka at Easter 2015.  It was registered for more than 4 years before being cancelled only yesterday, on 13/6/19.
