DH-60, VLC Ohiwa harbour, Whale and White islands on horizon
Some History DH60: I was going to re paint this as ZK-AKK but not enough time sad.gif

NZPAF995 arrived in New Zealand in July 1929. On 17 November 1929 it became the first aircraft to fly non-stop between Wellington and Hobsonville. Fitted with floats between 06 and 08 January 1930 and embarked on HMS Dunedin to Samoa. Carried out a number of military duties in Samoa including leaflet dropping, aerial photography and passenger flights commencing from 16 January 1930. It was armed with a Lewis gun and home-made bombs. Re-embarked on HMS Dunedin for Auckland on 02 March 1930. Aircraft was dropped during lifting operations on the voyage and was destroyed, only the engine and floats being salvaged. The floats were later fitted to Francis Chichester's Moth ZK-AKK for his trans-Tasman flight.

Ended up looking like this ! (Well according to the wonderful world wide web that is.)

If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston Churchill

To insure peace of mind ignore the rules and regulations.
George Ade

“Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.â€￾
― Dalai Lama XIV

“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.â€￾
― Robert A. Heinlein
