Zemsi, are you going to stick around for
Easter?
Gerald Rhodes' collection in the Wanaka Museum is quite impressive, but most of the exhibits have come from Australia! The Chev Monkeyface has been imported from Australia, and I understand Mike Kelly might know something of the restorer.
The Studebaker, the Wiles Cooker (behind the C60L), and the Centurion are all from Aust and I know the sellers. The Lockheed is also Australian and was flown to NZ some years ago on tour and had airworthyness issues and was prevented from leaving the country, being sold for a pittance.
The Carrier was restored by and bought from Jeff Plowman, of Kiwis in Armour.
