North Shore Airfeild Open Day

The North Shore Airfield held an open day today which drew many resident aircraft out on display, plus quite a few visitors from as far away as Dunedin (ZK-NJS)and Kerikeri (ZK-LPM).

By my count there are around 25 sport aircraft now based at North Shore. Below I post 2 recent arrivals that have migrated to North shore as completed aircraft.

ZK-DES is our latest Vans RV 7, and joins 5 other RV's on the feild. It is ex N174RL. It is owned by Spectrum Trade Ltd of Silverdale, and it was first registered on 3/11/10.

Another immigrant is the Periera GP 4 that was built by John Evans of Blenhiem, and which was first registered on 10/12/03. It has a Subaru motor and a 4 bladed propeller, and sounds amazing when it flies over. It was registered to The Logan Family Trust of North Shore on 27/11/10.
