Miles Messenger ZK-AKE/2 Arrives Home to Kaipara Flats 2-10-2025

The much anticipated arrival of Bruce Lynch's Miles Messenger 2A ZK-AKE2 into Kaipara Flats airfield occurred this morning under gloomy skies, flown by Michael Bach.  

All tucked up in the hangar that Bruce had built for her.  She is quite a bit bigger and heavier than other planes on the airfield.

The arrival means that the Messenger joins other historical aircraft on the field including the Aeronca 100 ZK-AMW2, two Tiger Moths ZK-ASM and ZK-CCQ (and sometimes ZK-ATM2) and the Fox Moth ZK-APT.
