Omaka Wings and Wheels Day

[nuuumannn]

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.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice. Must have been a great day because the light is incredible. Well done.

Great shots Grant

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
