The SAA fly in at Ashburton over the weekend of February 4-5 & 6 was an aircraft spotters picnic; with over 100 aircraft on the field. Below are just four of them.
De Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth
ZK-CDU , c/n 3581 is an ex RAF and British civil aircraft that came to NZ as ZK-BAW. It was rebuilt by Charles Liddell and first flew on 14-05-1964 as ZK-CDU. It was delivered to the Ashburton Aviation Museum Society Inc from the Upton Family Trust on 08-02-2002. Earlier fuselage registration markings are still visible on the side of the fuselage.
Another local is this Denny Kitfox IV

The Europa XS ZK-CHV2 , c/n 456 , is the Bill Sisley aircraft.

I have just been scanning some old photos. If the person Annonymous who back on the 7th September 2009 wanted photos of the Avro 594 Avian 11A ZK-AAN , still wants photos I have one. ( probably taken in 1937 ) MY email address is on my blog. Cheers Ali.
