ZK-AXI  de Havilland D.H.84 Dragon  (c/n  2057)

                                 

                                     This was the former VH-AEF.  This shot was taken at an air show in Nelson, N.Z. in 1957,
                                     when the aircraft was on the strength of the Nelson Aero Club.  It was donated to the Museum
                                     of Transport Technology in Auckland following an accident at Ardmore in 1967.   It then
                                     underwent a complete rebuild starting in 1982 which was not finished until 1997.  The aircraft
                                     is once again airworthy as the nice contemporary color shot by Allister Jenks (below) illustrates.
