[QUOTE="Nikonitus, post: 80307, member: 10962"] Fork,, I live in South Auckland, New Zealand and Ardmore aerodrome is but 2 or 3 miles away from me. These two shots are outside my backdoor which looks in the general direction of Ardmore, at about 4:30pm (give or take),, no,, just looked at the photos - 17:04 (5:04pm). It was very overcast and about to rain. This weekend there is some sort of airshow on at Ardmore - just google "ardmore airshow september 2012" to find details... My younger brother works at the airfield and told me that the Mosquito has been under restoration for the past handful of years just a few doors up from where he works, and finally took its maiden flight yesterday morning. I took two pice, 1 of them as shown, when it returned to the airstrip just yesterday. Apparently there is another Mosquito on its way back to life but lord only knows how long this too will take.
