Micro Aviation Bantam B22J ZK-WNJ

 Whilst poking around at Mandeville the other day I came across this Bantam that has not been mentioned previously on this blog.

Micro Aviation Bantam B22J ZK-WNJ c/n 01-0195 first appeared on our civil aircraft register on 05-12-2001 for Wilkie Wilkens of Paeroa. 

He sold it on briefly to Lindsay Brown and Simon Bankhart of Waihi from 20-08-2007. They sold it in November of 2007 with Lindsay purchasing the Czech Sportcruiser ZK-CSC2 and Simon the Bantam B22S ZK-DTC2

WNJ's new owner was Aaron Robins of Winton - who also acquired the Revolution Mini 500 ZK-HOW2 at about the same time - followed by the Bantam B22J ZK-JMT later.

Bradley Yorke of Wyndham listed it from 01-10-2009. Bradley has had at least a dozen aircraft since 1994. It was then transferred to John Stewart, also of Wyndham from 04-08-2010 where it joined the Gemini 503TC ZK-EEX and the Banam B22J ZK-SJW and then later by the Impulse 100 ZK-MPL.

The Croydon Aircraft Co Ltd of Mandeville (the one near Gore) acquired it from 18-05-2015.


Below is a portion of the blurb that accompanies the aircraft on display.

Hmmm !
