From M.W.Prime's collection comes this shot of VQ-FAH undergoing a major check, presumably on return to NZNAC 10.67 and before reverting to ZK-APK since the Fiji regn is partly removed and the airline titles masked for spraying out.

Replacing VQ-FAH on lease in October 1967 was ZK-AZA which became VQ-FBF and is seen here wearing the final version of livery with Fiji titles and the sunfish on the tail. On some aircraft (chiefly Herons?) the dots above the 'i's were outlined rather than solid.

Another BA Eagle II rare enough for inclusion here but too early for attention in the Archive listing. VH-UTI is c/n 109 and was originally exported to the Hannan Bros and registered in April 1935. Photographed also at Kingaroy on 5.10.80.

One aircraft which managed to avoid impressment, Fox Moth G-ACEJ survived in the hands of Giro Aviation to give thousands of post-war joy rides from Southport's Birkdale Sands beach airfield. In this photo from the Editor's files it is to be seen with Norman Giroux at the controls about to start another circuit during the summer of 1960.

Recent correspondence from Bob Ogden on the subject of Drones reminded the Editor of this example. Why was it painted in this manner? Whose Drone was it and what was the registration?
The Drone G-ADSB flown by Bernard Collins in British Hospitals Air Pageants.
