With a total of 235 RNZAF Airspeed Oxford 1/11 and Consul twin engine trainer used during WWII the Wigram Museum staff have really got the leg up, looking great /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B-)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

Beautiful clear shots Ian ..... young Brian let me attach a few bits to that old lady some time ago.
Great post .

Thanks Marty, still getting use/figger the camera ops , the mission was to photo the DC-3 cockpit for Jan Visser's remake, but this Oxbox - Its amazing how simplistic the structure is course we both knew that, I was so pleased to see it up on its wheels and much bolted on .. a good study.

Ian oxford & DC3

Thanks Sean, it was good to see this one progressed this far. Ive yet to select the ideal DC-3 cockpit photo's.

Back into Wigram, really I should just move in .. I should have thought to photo these first time, again for interest sake.



It a supreme effort here, the work involved is staggering !

I remember having a good look around this aircraft some time ago A lot has clearly been done since then, a credit to the hard workers

Chris , it is impressive to really dig in in and look around this thing .. Brilliant

Last time I saw this I thought that they were mad, just a mass of rotting wood

I have to admit to being a bit envious of your access to these aircraft Ian. Good photos that make me even more jealous!! Well done.

Not a JOKE , Not an Idea , ITS a Friggen Great Idea

Lovely shots Ian. I'd love a really good FSX model, in RNZAF colours with yellow belly and yellow stripe on the side with earth and green on top.

There's a bloke in Feilding with THREE Oxboxes to fly. Gotta get down there!

It maybe not that far away- a FSX model , but as for the three real jobbies about to fly, that sounds very interesting .

Just Over .. well little more .. a year later, this is what the team has done in the Wigram toyshop .. ITS An Impressive Sight

I was down there a couple of weeks ago for a conference (that was supposed to be in the museum but got changed at the last minute to Riccarton race course). One of the field trips was to the Wigram Air Force museum.
I didn't realise that they had so many Skyhawks there. Nice museum and wonderfully kept exhibits.

CRIKEY STEVE .. Between the Riccarton race course and Wigram .. Triangulate into Church Corner .. you would have been more than welcome to stop here and have a chin wag at the man cave/art studio CRIKEY

Yeah I should have thought about that! I needed a beer or 5 after 4 days of dry ICAO business.

Awesome stuff Ian, SO great to see paint on the wings.
