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.. :shock: )

...and my brand new wife Bridget (loving the flight)

Hope you enjoyed

Cheers
TNZ

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... 8)

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.
