I was talking to Paul Waterhouse yesterday and telling him about the blog. Try searching for ZK-BZY I told him so he did and came back with "it's not there!" Dang! So I asked Paul for a nice pic of it and here it is:
Paul made a really nice job of his Pietenpol ZK-BZY2 (c/n PCW001) which he registered on 13/12/21. Unfortunately Paul suffered a whoopsie on landing and overturned on John Hansen's strip near Te Awamutu on 26/3/22 but he is rebuilding the aircraft with learnings from the whoopsie, and he told me it is nearly ready to fly again.
Paul's Pietenpol should really be the first ZK-BZY I reckon but there is an interesting story about the first issue of ZK-BZY. That was an Enzeduce 1 which was a man powered aircraft that was designed by B Little and F Lindsey of Auckland and the registration ZK-BZY was allotted on 20/3/61. But building was never commenced and it was cancelled on 3/10/69 as Construction Abandoned.
Thanks very much for the photo Paul. Welcome aboard.
