I'm not to sure, but I was out there with a pilot friend a few months baclk and we were discussing that aircraft (I think) for some reason. J6 of some description springs to mind for some reason, but don't take my word for it. tongue.gif

Connor you were right......

"The Karatoo
We have three Karatoo J-6 aircraft currently on the register.
All three have been constructed at Rangiora.
The first was the Norman Karatoo J6 ZK-KTO , c/n J6 673P , registered to Mike Small on 28-08-2001.
It was re-designated as an Australian Av Works Karatoo J6C on 15-04-2003."
