This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

About 2004 there was a report of a Curtiss Hawk 75 Ex Armee d'Air, Luftwaffe and Finnish Air Force being restored in New Zealand. Any updates or photos. Can't even find the one photo I had seen of the tail with the German Swastika remnants.

Perhaps this one?

Based here at Omaka, airframe coming along, but a part time project. Original tail is on display in the Dangerous Skies exhibition at the Heritage Centre which opened in Nov last year. One day I will post some photos of that.....

Oh Dave you tease.... I was lucky enough to see the project up close back in 2010 (i think it was) and is slowly coming along. I wasn't allowed to take photos but it will be a fine restoration when completed. Quite cool seeing the mixture of languages on original bits of the airframe!
