This warbird returned to the air last weekend after several years of being impounded following the fallout between The Vintage Aviator Ltd and Gene DeMarco.
Now with a new Kiwi owner, it was flown with the undercarriage locked down from Hood Aerodrome to JEM Aviation at Omaka Aerodrome on Sunday for some much-needed maintenance after being idle for a few years.
It had been test-flown the day before to ensure there were no major issues preventing the ferry flight, which was authorised by the NZ CAA.
Hopefully, it will be back at Hood Aerodrome in time for the Wings Over Wairarapa airshow later in November. Note that this Corsair was previously owned by Ray Hanna.
