Lake 250 Renegade ZK-WAI/3 at Kaipara Flats on 8-1-2026

A surprise first time visitor to Kaipara Flats yesterday was the Lake LA 4 Model 250 Renegade ZK-WAI3 which flew up from North Shore.  With 250 HP it sounded pretty grunty on take off!

ZK-WAI3 was registered in New Zealand on 19/12/18 to Dr Mark F Jones of Albany with whom it is still current.  It was flown across the Tasman arriving at Kerikeri on 3/5/18 as VH-WMW.

Lift off. 

And wheels up and away!

While it does not have the ZK-prefix, it does carry a couple of small New Zealand flags on the tail - here the NZ Civil Air Ensign on the starboard side,

And the NZ Red Ensign on the port side.
