Nelson on December 1st

 Bill Mannix was out on his morning walk at Nelson Airport and snapped these for us.

The Mooney M20C Mk21 ZK-CKF c/n 20C-2802 arrived in NZ on 14-10-1964 for the Southern Districts Aero Club. It has been with its current Nelson owner Thomas Ashton of Nelson since March 2019.

The ex Austrian Air Force Agusta Bell AB206A ZK-HMU c/n 8127 has been Masterton based with Mike Ross since 2014.

Lloyd Heslop had his RAF 2000 GTX SE ZK-RAE2 c/n H2-97-8-283 was about to do some circuits on the western grass.

And out getting some sunshine was the Ross Stratford's Alpi Aviation Pioneer 200 ZK-SML2 c/n 249-09. Prior to March 2020 this was registered ZK-KPD1.

A Stranger at NZPP - Australian Aircraft Hornet ZK-DLV/2

Jordan Elvy was on hand at Paraparaumu airport this afternoon to catch this unusual visitor:

Australia Aircraft Hornet STOL ZK-DLV2 (c/n 64) was registered to DL Van Reenen of Upper Moutere on 9/11/22 and has been elusive for photographers until now.  It arrived at Paraparaumu after being blocked by weather both North and South.

Thanks very much for the photo Jordan.
