ZK-AXN  Miles M.11A Whitney Straight         (c/n   303)

                                

                                      David Molesworth provides this interesting shot by Jim Dyson giving the Whitney Straight a rakish,
                                      racy look.  It was, after all, a "sportsman's" aeroplane.   ZK-AXN began life as G-AENH and was
                                      exported to Australia as VH-ABN in 1937.      In 1951 it was sold to the Auckland Aero Club as
                                      ZK-AXN.   It was withdrawn from use in 1962 and then unfortunately damaged beyond repair in
                                      a fire at Otematata in November of 1963.   Its remains were broken up the following year.
