This one is not particularly civil - but we have had four of this type on
the register.

And to help sort out the influx of correct answers -
Tell me where and when ?
Allan has got it with Tiger Moth.
But more details required yet.
Nice try with the details there Allan - but alas not ZK-APM
And no Peter it is not ZK-APX that I am looking for either.
I didn't realise so many Tigers went swimming !

That completes the Question time thanks.
Does anybody have any more information on the Cessna 150 ZK-CZE with the Rotec engine?
ReplyDeleteGidday there QW.
ReplyDeleteI would think it is still some time away from flying.
Paper work not yet as heavy as the aircraft.
It's an early 150 ex US register (I have the US rego noted somewhere) Has new constant cord wings.
BB - the would-be ZK-CZE has popped up on TradeMe. Did you ever find its US identity?
