Yes that is a DH89 Dragon Rapide in the background (I was flying her for the airshow).
Beside the Rapide is one of only two DH90 Dragonflies in the world, and beside that is a DH83 Foxmoth (which was the first commercial aircraft in NZ).
All of these aircraft and more besides are resident at Croydon Aircraft Company, Old Mandeville Airfield in Gore, New Zealand.
The aircraft listed as a Bristol Pusher is an AIRCO DH2, quite a nice little machine.
