However, it is still easy enough to meander around checking out the local bits and bobs and unfortunately there was not a great deal on offer.
A yellow Piper Cub exited a hanger and promptly taxied for departure and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was ZK-BKH which I hadn't photographed since February 1989 back in Nelson - almost 20 years ago!
Secondly, just as I was about to drive away almost empty handed, Vans RV7A ZK-REX entered the circuit and landed. This aircraft has been on the register since July 2004 and it flew up from Omaka, where it was built, to Ardmore sometime in December, for certification work with a workmate of mine who runs a maintenance facility out there. I then noted the aircraft crossing Cook Strait for Omaka the day after I took this photo so its now back home in Omaka.
