My thanks to Howard Haugh and Gerald O'Brien for sending in these photos.I don't know what the copyright situation may be after 70 years,but if anyone has any valid objections to these picture being here ,please contact me at " daveg4otu@aol.com" and I will remove them.In addition,if you can add anything to the newspaper captions ,please contact me.
This undated picture of ZK-AAP was sent in by Eddie Coates
Another one from Eddie shows ZK-ABU - possibly at some kind of airshow judging by the spectators. Can anyone add more information?
