The Stratford Aero Club Sport Flyers held a well timed flyin at Stratford last Saturday 22 January. The weather was great and a lot of sport aircraft arrived from a wide area. Here are a selection of aircraft that caught my attention:
Pioneer 300 Ltd of Papakura's Alpi Pioneer 300 ZK-DMK2 (c/n 332) reflects the owners initials. This aircraft was built by Sefton Crandall from a kitset, and as ZK-SCN was based just down the road at Hawera.Another aircraft reflecting the owners initials is the Zenith Zodiac CH 601 HD ZK-SRP, which now has script on the deep chord wingtips.
Aeroprakt A 22LS Foxbat ZK-LFD was recently purchased by Malcolm Forsyth of Whangaparaoa and has acquired a chequer board black and white rudder.
Another Foxbat, attending its first flyin, was Peter Jackson's new ZK-LAX from Tuakau. Peter previously had Foxbat ZK-LFD.
And across from Hawkes Bay was the lovely little Staaken Flitzer Z 21 ZK-FTZ.
Flashback to post WW 1 Germany with the Flitzer and the Stratford Sport Flyers Fokker D VII replica ZK-MKE outside the Aero Club clubrooms.
Thanks for the photos HMR.
