    They were the first airliners that landed at Milford in the mid 1950s , but to my knowledge was a couple pioneering flights pre WWII using Tiger Moths or similar type but the Rapide opened up the region , many aircraft have been lost notably a DH Dragonfly that was lost without a trace in 1962 and search gos on today , the area has got to be known as New Zealand's 'Bermuda Triangle' .

    Not quite my kind of airplane, I'd rather have a Dove or Heron. But a salute for a great piece of work with this modell. It looks great.
