Hi Guys, a pal of mine arranged a photo shoot with the owner/restorer of this rather historic surviving RNZAF aircraft. He wanted to recreate a picture of the aircraft he had, so off we went to do exactly that. The original image.

The Auster was one of seven Austers operated by the RNZAF and was once configured as a float plane and arrived in New Zealand in 1947. It still has the brackets that the floats were attached to fitted.

Hoping to get some ground-to-airs later. With thanks to Andy and John for arranging the photo shoot.
