Omaka Airfield
On a recent trip to the South Island, and my very short visit to the Omaka Airfield in Blenheim, was well worth it, with great line up waiting for me to take photos of, and no none of these photos were planned, I just turned up and this is what was waiting for me.

There was a gentleman also at the airfield flying his yellow Piper Cub radio remote control airplane and he thought that this would be a great photo of his model plane and ZK-BER together. Cute.

Bristol Freighter ZK-CPT
On a recent trip to the South Island, I managed to make it finally to the Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, also the home of the Sir Peter Jackson's, Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
I was a bit short on time, and didn't manage to make if through this amazing aviation museum, but I will be making a special trip back for a look one day soon.
However time did permit for a quick walk around and on display right outside the Aviation Centre is this retired Safe Air "Merchant Courier" Bristol Freighter ZK-CPT.
Safe Air purchased ZK-CPT in May 1966.
The Bristol Freighter first flew in 1945.
ZK-CPT completed some 27,679 hours during her time in service. Safe Air is based still currently based at Blenheim's Woodbourne Airport, and operated a fleet of 17 Bristol Freighters.
