I was working off another strip at Te Kuiti close by to where Don (Goose) Ercerg was flying CKE around about the time those photos were taken
Goose always maintained it was only his superior piloting skills and good looks that kept the bloody thing airborne
Climbed over those Avengers and Harvards as well,everyone thought they was scrap in those days
Off topic the Victa in my opinion could be re manufactured to provide a good simple trainer,surely for under $200k ?
brrrm brrrm
I watched a program on telly recently about the progress of the Whitney Boomerang
Those poor guys were bleeding at the eyes trying to come up with a trainer from scratch retailing at $200k
