In researching for my series of Microlight Aircraft of New Zealand, I have come across some more photos from Janic Geelen of the very early days of microlights here, before they were required to be registered:
Can anyone add any further information about these photos? I have heard a story about when Americans Tommy Namais and Marty Waller came to New Zealand they bought examples of several microlights with them and offered dealerships. Maybe these 3 microlights were part of this? Can anyone confirm?
There was another microlight on the airfield that day, being Pete James' weight shift Quicksilver E but Pete tells me that that one was imported by him and this will form the start of my series of Quicksilvers in New Zealand (of which there have been 112 registered!).
