Title: New Aircraft Registration for the Vintage Aviator......
Post by: rowan broadbent on April 26, 2013, 06:03:35 PM
Just had a look at the latest registrations on the NZ civil aircraft register and the Vintage Aviator registered an Albatros D.II replica a few days ago.... Is this one of Koloman Mayrhofer's wonderful creations?

will it début at this weekend's airshow? Also noted is another Snipe with a change of colour scheme...... look forward to seeing what is new this weekend at Hood Aerodrome!

My informant tells me that the Snipe will be flying tomorrow, but no sign of the Albatros...

The new Snipe is in the markings of F2367 'B' Flight 70 Squadron Bickendorf Mar-Apr 1919 which is one of the options in the 'Late' boxing by Wingnut Wings
