Thats a nice looking Strikemaster, bolt the wings on, do a BF and away you go!

It should be a relatively easy assembly job for us but I guess it will be a job for the old forklift and rubber mattresses.

Nice. Does it work?

A few here with numerous hours on them

Yes, the forklift works quite well and I understand the Strikemaster is 'complete', but I am not sure if that includes an engine. I hear the wings are on and it is standing on it's wheels today.

We do not have the resources to fly any of our collection.

Pity, you could have had the genesis of the only combat capable air wing in NZ.

Who would they fight?

Their West Island?

The South Island could secede, which could be the casus belli! Sharpened paws-paws and 1 Strikemaster at dawn...

There are still quite a few gaps in our Percival collection..we have Proctor, Provost, Jet Provost.

Someone recently gave us a complete radio fit from a Percival Prince. That could be a bit boring but having a display of all the components of a system is quite an advance over labelled sundry black boxes.
