Ahh, I suspected as much.  So is this a final farewell to the air force and an embrace of civvy street?   Cool


RE: Howdy - Kenj - 17-12-2022

It was the E93A that gave it away. He could have tried to fool us by putting 100e?

To confuse the issue I had a 100E engine in my E93A

Nice to see so many familiar names have made the migration.
Quack!


RE: Howdy - allblack - 27-12-2022

Nice, I took a look as ZK is Air NZ's registration code.

I've seen an HSV Commodore with the rego plate ZKHSV.

Being an avgeek and a HSV fan, I would have paid anything for that plate then bought the car.

ZK is New Zealand's national aircraft code. I owned microlight ZKTED, it was available when my plane was built. The rego lapsed on the aircraft after I sold it, now its on a plane in Queenstown.


RE: Howdy - allblack - 27-12-2022

Correct. Shouldn't have included the 'Air'.


RE: Howdy - R2x1 - 28-12-2022

ZM is also a NZ aircraft identifier code, although the only one I can recall was a Fying Flea at MOTAT, Auckland, ZM-AAA

Interesting aircraft, Prewar kiwi in RAF Clouston (his father had a gold mine behind our farm) saw a meet of them and most could never get off the ground which was quite lucky as they tended to cbd. In his bio he was talked into flying one said it was the most terrifying flight he ever had and he flew 1939-45.


RE: Howdy - R2x1 - 01-01-2023

Somewhat like the BD5 that came along later, there was a certain amount of optimism involved in the design , building and flying phases.   The skill and resources were all in the marketing  department.  Alas for the Pou de ciel, going to fast or too slow in flight was almost as dangerous as moving the controls. When things went wrong as they were wont to do, the only saving grace was Henri Mignet's safety feature - no matter how high, low, fast or slow you go, the ground can be relied on to arrest your fall.

Yeah theres a few that so far have no migrated, but on saying that if a person didn't go to the Old PF1 for a while all they would get is not found, and no indication as to where everyone has gone.

Just looked the complete pcworld.co.nz has now been migrated / deleted and it goes to pcworld.com


RE: Howdy - R2x1 - 04-03-2023

You get that, unless you don't. . .
