Hi everyone.
I am a keen planespotter in Auckland New Zealand.
I have taken loads of shots which I have uploaded to the net.

Your picture 33 is a Transavia PL12 Airtruk. Another one of our oustanding Australian aviation successes!
I moved your thread to the correct forum but left a link in the Dunnunda Forum.

Just loved the Catalina. My wife and I are hoping for a ride on that early next year. Recently attended a slide show by someone who had been to Wanaka. Oh boy... He also had slides of restoration projects all over NZ and some of the aircraft were mind blowing.
Re the Airtruk, the original concept grew almost literally out of a pile of Harvard or Wirraway bits, and its genesis includes some development in New Zealand by a company named Bennett.
Amazing looking aeroplane - when I was a lad in Nairobi, there was one at Wilson Airport. My dad told me that it pranged during a spraying demonstration at the ariport and rolled itself into a ball!
'Ere, the Trislander's just not very good looking, that's all!
Hey that's my DC3.... or at least 1/50th of it is!
Now you missed ZK-CIT, however we will fix that.
Cheers
