DH 88 Comet replic
This is probably an appropriate place to ask my next question.
About four years ago we stumbled across an airfield Just south of the town of Gore with a museum housing a good collection of Dehavilland aircraft and a workshop complex nearby where some interesting things were being done. Somebody was manufacturing Tiger Moth fuel tanks, which is no simple task, there was a wooden propellor being made, IIRC a Stinson getting some work done but the most astonishing thing was a Dehavilland 88 Comet replica which appeared to be well on the way to completion.
I was hoping to drop in on my recent NZ tour but didn't get down that far.
Does anyone know what the current situation is as regards the Comet? I would be very interested to know what has become of it.
