[turbo_NZ]

Hey Peoples,

(I know this isn't quite warbird, but most people hang out here so thought I would post here....sorry Scott)

We got married a couple of weeks ago and went very well.
On our Honeymoon, we went up in a 1930's Fox Moth.
Bridget and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Something very romantic about flying around the bottom of NZ's South Island in a 1930's biplane.

Here's some pics of us
(got told not to show the "other" pics.. )

Hope you enjoyed

Cheers

Thanks for your kind words, Rob.

Yes I am a very lucky man in more ways than one.
Aircraft-loving ladies aren't hugely common down this neck of the woods, so it is way cool being able to indulge my passion of aviation to my loved one.

Another pic...

Who can tell me what the bare fuselage is behind Bridgy and the Tiger-Moth ?

I know what it is.
Just seeing how observant your people are...

And sorry Rob it ain't no Ox-Box.

ah yes, thanks Hairy, Ryan our pilot DID say that it served in the RNZAF..I forgot that .
The FOX MOTH does deserve to be here !!!!!!

Nope not a Dragon, or Oxbox......

hmm,...the Yankees are stumped...

Clue, check out the wing section where it's attached to the fuselage...

[turbo_NZ]

Yes I can say it's definitely a DH product,..........

Nope, not a DH-86 Express.

[turbo_NZ]

oh okay,...it's twin engined...., if I say any more than that, hmm....
another clue,...look at the cockpit length,..

Cheers

Tut, tut, tut.......................

I am shaking my head.

[turbo_NZ]

I think he's been through just about every pre-war to wartime De Havilland so far........

[hairy]

ooooooh, can I give him a clue pleeeeeeeeeeeeze

[turbo_NZ]

Go on then, Hairy..and it's history too....

He's got it anyway...was a DH-88 Comet Racer, currently being restored.
Surprised me to see it them....very sleek and not very big.
