I had been to Bay Flight today (yes the home of ZK MAT) finally getting around to sorting out a PPL. As I passed by the Classic Flyers NZ aircraft musuem they were preparing a Harvard .

This very short film features a 1943 North American Harvard 3 #NZ1098 registered in NZ as ZK-ENJ. I got my 'G's and 'J's mixed up in the video ... ooops.

The video was taken with my low quality digital camera as short avi's, I only had a few sconds of room on the memory card, so I was unable to get the low-level passes on film that occurred soon after takeoff. I must get a digial video cam. It's amazing what you can make out of about 20 seconds of footage though lol. I managed to get Mike Alpha Tango in the vid too

Probably not the most fitting choice of music in hindsight ...

If a picture is worth 1000 words, then video is Mega.
That is soo good - hey guys I was just passing, look at this - that's what digital video is all about.
And a few glitzy transitions and video effects sure don't hurt the postcard.
AND, there's ZK-MAT, right where I parked it!!! B)

I was so close to gettin a ride in a Harvard .. 4 years runnin 1st couple was time and crowds ... planned it next , damm southly shut me down .. the last time perfect nothing can go wrong , ticket in hand , at the pole , plane taxi's in ...... and its broke !

oh well next time

least after watchin this video , can jump into one and go for a spin

good work Mat

Very nice work Matt. Great vid.

Alex

Wow! Great Graphics Matt

Seriously man, nice captures there, that Havard prop looked funny starting up aye

And how come there is a Warbirds dh Devon in the first frame?!?! I thought it crashed on landing on the way to a rugby game quite recently?

Keep up the good work at Splat productions!

The prop thing was funny, the camera fps made it look static... I can assure you it was spinning, quickly. The dog was in the car barking at the noise lol.

ZK KTT, a de Havilland DH104 Dove/Devon 1952 (info from nzwarbirds.org.nz) was taking passengers sightseeing. It landed after the Harvard took off so I guess it's still operating!

Here's another 'not a fs video' Link. As there are a few helo fans here it's a BF2 chopper strike

It landed after the Harvard took off so I guess it's still operating

Must be more than one airworthy one then:

From Charl's Comprehensive Database on NZ Things with Wings:
There should be 4 of these birds
ZK-KTT DH 104 Dove
ZK-UDO DH 104 Dove
ZK-UCO DH104 Devon C1
ZK-UFO DH104 Devon C1
Plus a half dozen airframes, a couple more at Wigram, and one in Ashburton
