Thank you for viewing. Since I made this video all of these fine aircraft have left New Zealand for museums overseas, mainly the USA with a few still flying!
I think they only take her up when they have a fare paying passenger as you will have seen with the Mustang. The pilot of the Corsair only got his rating the day prior and this was his first flight following that.
Hi, NZ 5648 first flew at Ōmaka September 1, 2023 and is now owned by Mike Jones of Auckland. Vintage Aviation News has full information. Great to see it back in Ardmore!
As a kid driving with my parents past Rukuhia in the late 50's seeing all those WW2 aircraft sitting waiting to be stripped or buried. Goodness me.....
Around 1964 they were offering a Corsair without engine for 10 quid and another 10 quid to truck it up to me in Auckland. I did not have that much spare cash!
Nice footage of two iconic war planes. I assume the Mustang is air worthy and would have liked to see it fly, along with the Corsair, but that's okay. It was rare and great to see both planes together and running. Thank you. You did have a great side view of the Corsair showing why it was a bit of a problem landing it on a carrier, with the cockpit so far back from the long nose of the plane.
Thanks for your comment. Next time I may move from the apron and get some flying footage, I have quite a few videos taken at Ardmore Airfield on my Channel.
Nice video! I'm the volunteer with my sleeves rolled up with the camera around my neck. My apologies for bombing your footage so often! Had I known you were there I would have made an effort to keep out of your shot. Please continue making these videos. They really portray how much of a buzzy airfield Ardmore can be - even in the middle of winter.
Thanks for your comment, aviation needs keen young men to keep it alive! Over the years I have made quite a few videos at Ardmore. Search “Ardmore Airfield” on my channel for more.
Después de miles construidos que no quede ninguno en vuelo en Rusia que pena más grande , fué un revolucionario en su época, alta maniobrabilidad, primer caza con tren retractil ( manual ) muy veloz, dicen que había que tener muñecas de acero para maniobrarlos especialmente en tierra ya que no tenían frenos, el despegue y aterrizaje era extremadamente delicado, el juego de pedales era fundamental por su patin de cola sin ruedas. Que gran avión y que hermoso sonido radial

Until this day this plane attracts my eyes. Short, Fat, clumsy looking, a goofy appearance on the ground and the attractiveness of rosty, stuttering ordinary farmers tractor... And then it flies, not necessarily graceful, but energetic, like a dove, accurate and on point. There is no plane that generates a bigger difference in appearance between grounded and flying!
Ceremonial cloaks made with bird feathers were worn by Maori Chiefs as a sign of high rank. Our Defence Force use them for the same reason. Hope you enjoyed the marching!
Given the current collapse of the Chinese economy, I wouldn’t expect this company to still exist in seven years making its warranty virtually worthless.
Just speaking from experience, I recently bought an Omoda. I was a bit sceptical at first but after a few test drives I was genuinely surprised by the quality interior and tech that came with it. Was really impressive for the price you pay. Nothing felt cheap at all. I encourage anyone to test drive one for themselves. Was real interesting after I did some of my own research, based on official figures China actually shipped more vehicles overseas than Germany in 2022 ranking second globally and surpassed Japan in 2023. They're really growing at a rapid pace, faster than even the Korean brands, so it'll be interesting to see where they go from here!
Many thanks for your interesting comment. Auto producers need folk like you who a prepared to try something new and break the repeat brand purchaser. I have change title to “Low Priced”
Your cousin is the commander and you arent aware that Barak 8 missile is not "Israeli", but a joint venture between India and Israel and is made in India by Bharat Dynamics?
