The New Zealand Warbirds Association held an open day at Ardmore today commemorating D-Day. The day seemed to be well attended.
I could only get there late in the day when the sun was not helpful for photos. However, I offer the following for a taste of the aircraft that were there.
Miles M 38 Messenger IIA ZK-CMM performed a spirited display.
Taxying in....
And past a WW 2 style hangar....
To take part in an interesting and colourful line-up of Beaver, Isaacs Fury replica, Miles Magister and Ryan STM.
Strikemaster NZ 6370 (ZK-STR) was back in its proper colour scheme (post V day?), with the Warbirds Skyhawk NZ 8209 behind.
Tiger Moth NZ 841 (ZK-ALM).
Three of the 6-Harvard demonstration flight taxying in. Here, NZ1057.
NZ 1065.
NZ 1098.
Finally the magnificent Yak 3M ZK-VVS gave and impressive display before landing...
And taxying in to close the show.
There were more than 20 ex-military or pseudo-military aircraft on display. A nice way to pass a Sunday afternoon.
