Volcanic Air, De Havilland DHC-3, ZK-VAS

On a recent visit to Rotorua on a very foggy back dropped morning I managed to get this shot of Volcanic Airs De Havilland DHC-3 Otter, ZK-VAS parked on super still and calm morning on the lake. The fog was thick on the late and made for backdrop behind the photo.
It was right on sunrise so changed the camera setting three time and came up with three different effects.

Auckland Seaplanes ZK-AMA Beach Pick-Up

The main reason for not so many photos lately is because I've been at my favourite beach and holiday spot, so not many aircraft around. So its good when the planes come to you instead.

So it was good to see Auckland Seaplanes Beaver DH-2, ZK-AMA turn up when I just happened to be on the beach with the camera. ZK-AMA had come up from Auckland to collect a passenger who needed to get back the city urgently. Sure beats sitting in traffic.

Auckland Seaplanes - ZK-WKA

Auckland Seaplanes which has only been operating for a short time is based at the Sealink Base North Wharf at the waterfront in downtown Auckland. They currently have two de Havilland Beaver DHC-2 Float planes, ZK-AMA and ZK-WKA.

So hopefully this summer I can get some better photos than these ones of ZK-WKA parked at the base in town or even in action on the harbour. Would love to take a flight one day also.

De Havilland DH-115 Vampire

A warm sunny day out at Ardmore Airport and just happened to catch this
De Havilland DH-115 Emmen Vampire, ZK-RVM.  The Vampire is made from the mixture of Wood & Aluminium construction.

Today ZK-RVM is being used for the purpose of Air to Air Photography to photograph ZK-MOS, Mosquito in the Auckland coastal area.
