The photos are from the Keith Morris collection unless otherwise noted.
ZK-PAC (c/n 1-0029) was ex N76NZ, obviously with a Kiwi connection. It was bought to New Zealand by Pam Collings and registered on 6/10/76. It was named "Flying Kiwi". It is photo'd here at the 1981 AACA flyin at Mt Hutt. It was cancelled on 27/10/81 and sold to Australia as VH-PUG.
ZK-FRJ (c/n 1-0025) is an Aerotek built S 1S model that was first registered in the USA as N8036 in 1974. It was imported into new Zealand by the Ashburton Aerobatic Syndicate and was first registered on 14/6/88. It was named "Inexcusable Extravagance". It is photo'd here at Hastings having some work done on its motor during a break from the 1991 New Zealand Aerobatic championships. It suffered a takeoff accident at Cust on 25/5/03.
It was sold in a damaged state to Morris Tull of Rangiora on 8/1/04. Morris rebuilt ZK-FRJ and its first flight after the rebuild was on 30/1/10. It is photo'd here at the 2011 SAANZ flyin at Ashburton. Blue Bus took the photo.
