On 1 September, there was another Omaka Wings and Wheels Day (in Marlborough, New Zealand in case you're wondering), which was good. I have posted images of the previous one held in February, but this event presented a few more good photo opportunities.

This beautiful Electra is decorated in two different colour schemes, a Union Airways of New Zealand scheme on one side and Linea Aerea Nacional of Chile on the other.

I have finished wiping my chin, had a smoke and can now type. Simply brilliant stuff. That Kiwi Corsair is the kickass best looking Corsair. A homerun Grant.

Cheers

Excellent and amazing shots, Grant!

Looks like you had perfect conditions down there, I am a bit jealous.
