Great photos! My brother and I are going to Wigram to check out this latest addition. We will have our fellow Wings over NZ Forum buddy Don Simms with us. Don is an ex RNZAF A4 Avionics man and has a book due out early next month about the history of the Skyhawk in NZ. I've seen a copy and it is packed with stories, facts and figures, photos on nearly every page, artwork even some HUD images of some close calls! A lot of the stories (and photos) have not been in the public domain before so it is going to be a worthwhile addition to my book shelf! (And Don's going to sign it for me) Timing couldn't be better with Don having the book launch at Wigram and the KAHU prototype (which Don was involved in) being on display. Karma!
So if you are there around lunchtime this Saturday and you see two guys trying to pull back a third, thats my brother and I trying to stop Don from doing a preflight inspection! biggrin.gif


The co-author seems to think otherwise in regards to who's book it is or was:

Stokes Valley author: my book was hijacked

Seems the News item has been removed from Stuff link above so ?
