I wont bother you any more after these....just a few random shots you may not have seen. Some of them are for museum reference, but may be of interest.











Thanks for all the interest guys.....now we sit and wait for the next one to arrive (05) and do it all again.........and then the souix , and the hueys....and .......

Great pics! Considering the number of restored/flying Hawker Hunters there are in the world it's a shame that nobody's grabbed one of these.

Awesome pictures Marty!
I'm going over to Wigram tomorrow to take a looksie and try get some half decent pictures..
Will it be coming out of the hanger anytime soon? (would like to get some images of it in daylight)

It is a shame Norma, but the U.S State department has the final say on who gets what....and private sales(to fly) are a big no at this point, so Im told.

Im not sure what you mean....before the rudder and elevator were put back? As it is now, the elevator is in that position because of hydraulics....and a bit hard to move back ...and the gap or hole you can see is just because the elevator is in such an extreme postion.
Once she comes out of the hanger again, these and a few few other things will be dealt to.

You can also get a good DVD covering Kiwi Red and Skyhawks from local booksellers very cheap or go for a series called 'The New Zealand Aviation Documentary Series' .. well worth having on your shelf .

No. 01 isn't to far away from its new home in Tauranga's Classic Fliers. I think its going to be the year of the Skyhawk
