Mark Pattenden was at the flyin held at Galatea yesterday where there were a remarkable four of the first generation Quicksilver MX II microlights (albeit one was deregistered):
Quicksilver MX II Sprint
ZK-UMC (c/n 0652) was originally registered in June 2006 and has been owned by the Uruwera Aero Club since 3/10/19. Obviously it is active.
The second MX II was a Sport model, being
ZK-CWT2 (c/n 99120) is a very recent registrant, having been on the register for G G Iles of Murupara since 21/2/24. It would be interesting to know where it came from.
ZK-MXJ (c/n MAANZ/288) is one of the early MX IIs to be registered here in November 1984 - one of a remarkable 23 MX IIs to be registered in the ZK-MX batch of registrations. It has been registered to W N Iles of Galatea since 6/5/20.
And also in the hangar was the unregistered example which is ex
ZK-JBR (c/n MAANZ/482) which was first registered in December 1992 but was withdrawn and cancelled on 12/6/15. However it still looks complete.
With other MX IIs flying at Feilding and Rangitata Island and up North do I detect a renewed interest in first generation microlights?
Thanks for the use of the photos Mark.
