Jordan Elvy travelled up to the Hawkes Bay and East Coast Aero Club's dawn flyin at Bridge Pa yesterday where there was good weather and a good attendance of aircraft. Most have been posted here previously but one that caught my eye was John Luff's Pitts S 1E from Wanganui. I haven't seen a recent photo of it outside. Its history can be seen at: https://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2011/11/pitts-s-1-specials-of-new-zealand.html
Although it is registered on the CAA website as a Pitts S 1E, it can be seen that it is heavily modified with a Falcon symmetrical wing, and it also has an extended rudder. Single seat Pitts's seem to have been prominent lately.
