Our LRDG Chev

Further to previous post does anyone know if this is the same plane now based in NZ and seen at Lake Karapiro recently?

Not many left in the world so it is a good possibility.

Cheers,

On Saturday we had a BBQ to celebrate the completion of our truck, inviting all who had helped us or shown an interest the project. Over the last six years we have received considerable help from local people, including businesses which have given us big discounts on materials and individuals who helped us with their skills or advice. It seems that some Te Aroha people recognize that the project is of special significance to the town. Brendan O'Carroll lent us some of his Arab head-dresses for the photo shoot. However I think we have some way to go before we learn how to wear them with panache.

Absolutely magnificent, a credit to you all, cheers Dennis

Looking good Andrew. You've done the hard yards and it's a downhill run to finish it off. Congratulations.

Thanks David
I hope you were not caught in the earthquake?

No Andrew, no problems with the seismic activity, we had passed through those areas a couple of days prior. To some extent I'm sorry we missed it. We should have been quite safe in the motor home, not much to fall on you and the suspension would smooth things out somewhat.
Heading north out of Wellington we were surprised to be in company with a WW1 Big Willy tank on an army transporter no doubt heading for the NZ Army museum. It looked in excellent condition and I was wondering if it was the replica from the film Warhorse?

No, that will be Spring Chicken (OLD THREAD), a stunning replica, that will probably be heading to the Wairarapa for the Feb Airshow. http://www.wings.org.nz/
