ZK-AXD      Miles M.11A  Whitney Straight                     (c/n  506)

                                    

                                        This machine was built just prior to the outbreak of WW II and first flew with the Class B
                                        registration U-0227.   It was then registered G-AFZY and impressed into service as NF747.
                                        Following a restoration in 1946 it returned to the UK register and was exported to New
                                        Zealand in 1950.    My blurred fuzzy shot shows it with the Hawkes Bay Aero Club circa
                                        1951.
