Microlight Aircraft of New Zealand - Mirages (2) - ZK-ERZ to ZK-EYY Registered Mirages

Ken Asplin and Trevor Barrett who had flown their Mirages from North Cape to Bluff in February 1982, were the agents for the Mirage trading as Skyflight Waikato and as I mentioned in my previous post there was a big demand for them with 35 Mirages being registered in 1982.  Below is their advertisement for the Mirage singing its benefits:

This photo shows Skyflight Waikato's presence at the February 1982 AACA flyin at Taupo with three Mirages and their support van.  I didn't note their registrations but they were not Ken Asplin's or Trevor Barret's Mirages (which were in different colours).

There were eleven Mirages registered in the ZK-ERZ to ZK-EYY series in 1982 as follows:
