Porbably the only paintshop in the area big enough for aircraft repaints. A wee bit more of the controlled enviroment than painting outdoors in 'gods' paintshop.

Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 6:45 pmJust got an email from Brendon with links to a couple of videos of PV270. The first is TV3's coverage of the first flight, well done to them for following the project over the years...even if they do use the same old footage of Hawker Typhoons at one point! http://www.3news.co.nz/Video/National/tabi...ault.aspx#video
The second is the take-off and taxi-in of the first flight, here's a high definition version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnJP2B50La0
Can't wait for Classic Fighters!
