Cessna 180/185 gathering Tauranga

The Cessna 180 / 185 Group had a fly - in at Tauranga during the weekend.
Hairy Mole Rat has sent in these pics.
 Above is our first Cessna 185 ZK-CAK (c/n 185-0017) currently with Robin Langslow of Otane, in pole forward mode.
 Above we have the Cessna 180 ZK-BSP (c/n 31263) from the BSP Partnership of Auckland. First registered in NZ on 11-02-1957.
 Cessna 180 ZK-BSP (c/n 31263) Cessna 180J ZK-DKE (c/n 52351) and Cessna A185F ZK-CES2 (c/n 18503273).
 Above is Cessna 180 ZK-CBH2 (c/n 32542) This is of 1956 vintage but appears to have a later fuselage ! Did it get this after its 1984 incident in the USA ?

 ZK-DRG (c/n 52463) is a 1974 model 180J with the DRG Partnership of Waiuku.

    The fuselage of CBH is original, but it has been modified to the later style with the extra windows.

    The fin is standard 180, maybe the light reflecting off the fuselage makes it look bigger?
