A Cresco, made by pacific aircraft in Hamilton NZ.
A beefed up fletcher, the fletcher originally came out with a IO-540 ( 300 HP ).
But now the Cresco has a PT6-34A, with a panty ripping 750 HP.

oh you guys!
the website on the nose gave away the type and right clicking the pic to see the file name said Walsh, so you don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out matamata as the location

Nig&Nog..........First is definitely TFC (Tennant F**k'n Creek) and would have to be mid to late nineties by the looks of the TL Metro in the background. I guess the second would have to be Batchelor.

1st photo at Tennant Creek, refueling from the bowser. As someone said the AN metro is a bit of a give away.
2nd Batchelor aerodrome, ide say relweek as that would be the attraction most likely to draw an PC6 and a Skyvan to that beautifull spot.
Do I know you as I seem to remember both of those events all to clearly, which means I can't have been there really.

Yeh...ok...was a bit obvious...TMG was at the Walsh this year...Simon practiced his display for the Masterton Airshow en-route...first time in front of a crowd (under Bryan's watchful eye!)...and it looked pretty good to me!

Loved the look of those big 'meat cleaver' prop blades.
Must make a bird strike look pretty!

Wrooooong...originally a 220HP Continental
Tin has flown the 240 and 260 HP Contis . IO-540 upgrades began in the 60's
I doubt whether 750HP would rip anyones pants but it may be quieter.

Hard to tell given the quality of the pic. Mauboussin Corsaire, Farnborough?
