Well finally we have our definitive RNZAF Mk3 and a more correct modeled Lodestar to ply the NZ Sky's , This will make Stewart very happy as his father flew the type in WWII

Now we might see a flood of many RNZAF schemes used buy both , from the military to the early days of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation

If you rang up the transport museum at Wanaka you might be able to get in.

When I went past there when I was home a few things had changed. They have started to clean up the Canberra and a few more things are in the shed now. Still a huge pile of cr@p out in the open though.

What inspired was the group having the Centurion Tank operating , Lodestar , AN-2 and many other features but they sorta missed the point in many places .. they seemed to dis-courage rather than the Bring it on attitude of the Ashburton Air Museum for example , may have been a few to many "Speights" 'pride of the South' the night before and before that and before that again ...

Ian, is there a paint for that particular An-2 ?
Would be nice to fly a "real" one in the sim...

These are free addons but after buying the Hudson pack now a year on at http://silvercloud-store.com/ .. had to be a must for New Zealand historical types , recon its still a WIP .
