HD,
Yes, that Harvard. Photo at Tauranga?
I've never seen so many Harvards as we did in NZ..
I know what you mean!
I took this picture at the 2011 Tauranga Air Show. I was helping out on the "piston" line-crew, which meant besides marshalling duties, I was able to take a lot of photos from the "air side" of the fence.
For such a small population, there is a staggering amount of vintage and warbird aviation. Over the two-day show, we handled 8 Harvards, 7 Yak 52s, 2 P40s, 2 Spitfires, an Me108, a T28 and a Corsair, as well as various light-aircraft. Down by the tower, on the apron, the "jet" crew looked after a Hunter, Vampire, Strikemaster, L39 and a T37.
I've had an email from NZ. The Cat is now (partially) under-cover and I have been told the plan is to have her flying by next Easter:
Your pilot was Chris Neilson, one of the foundation members of the Catalina Group.
