New Zealand Warbirds

Posted by Mike Henniger on Thu May 29, 2003 07:25:05 AM

A newly restored P-40 made an appearance at the Classic Fighters airshow earlier this year. It had Flying Tigers markings with "108" on the fuselage. I have been trying to find an ID for this airframe but have had no luck with the New Zealand civil register, or Google. Is this Gerry Yagan's P-40? Does anyone know the s/n? A picture of this one can be found on the Warbirds Over New Zealand Website...

I am also trying to ID (s/n, c/n and/or c/r) the following aircraft in New Zealand...
-> Avro 504K replica that may have been registered G-ECKE in England once
-> Polikarpov Po-2
-> Various Fokker Dr.1s
-> Nieuport 24 (replica?)

Does anyone have any info they can share?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
