One of the "Tora" film replica "Zeros" was operated by the Harvard Formation Team from North Weald in 1989. It then spent some time with the Old Flying Machine Company at Duxford before, I believe, going to New Zealand. These replicas are slightly larger than a real Zero. They have a DH Otter propeller and reduction gearing and thus have a much lower prop RPM without the Harvard take-off scream! It was great for looping manoeuvres but was very difficult to keep straight when rolling out of a half cuban.
