Microlight Aircraft of New Zealand - Mirage Brochures and Early Photos

Continuing to backfill the microlight types that I previously didn't have brochures on.  The second type of microlight to be registered here was the Ultraflight Mirage of which there were a remarkable 33 registered in 1982!  Here are some brochures on the Mirage from Russell Brodie, plus a couple of photos of very early Mirages at Te Kowhai:


Double click in the image to enlarge it to read it better.  And here are the photos:

Brian Farrell from the Department of Civil Aviation and Ken Asplin.   Brian was a good friend to the early microlight movement.  I reckon this must have been early 1982 and the Mirage may have been ZK-KJA which was registered on 28/12/81.


Max Clear, presumably with his Mirage ZK-ERZ which was registered on 28/1/82.

And I would guess that the third Mirage in the photo (the one in the middle) might have been Trevor Barrett's ZK-ESQ which was also registered on 28/1/82.
