Old Bill Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Interesting collection. Not quite enough of the lorry to identify. I wonder how many more collections like this there still are around the country? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I reckon your right Steve, but I think it is an Albion A10 3tonner.(Like mine) Regards Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Amazing these kind of photo's are still being found. Just goes to show how good the internet is, without it we would probably never have seen these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSM Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Interesting indeed. Friend sent me this link earlier this evening that is worth a look. Primarily a WW1 Aviation address in NZ (and they do, do it well!) however there are a couple of interesting MT pics that qualify it for inclusion here.

nz2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Much of the funding and influence for the aircraft restoration and total builds ( as a new aircraft from original plans) comes from the film maker Peter Jackson and his companies. The boarded up bus is characteristic of nature of the work. Check also http://www.omaka.org.nz/ This collection has also had the film makers influence in display format. It is not a row of aircraft simply lined up.An outstanding display. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a girl at the RAF Museum who's job is sponsored by him, TVAL (who build the planes) paid for a HUGE scanner, and her job is to make headway into making digital copies of the WW1 aircraft plans and providing TVAL with copies of them all. So going by the plans she's been sending we could possibly be seeing some interesting types coming out of their hangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ( as a new aircraft from original plans) Doug Out of interest does this include, all new manufactured to original design, engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Out of interest does this include, all new manufactured to original design, engines? yes. You should be able to find a thread on the forum with links to the engine manufacturing - quite amazing the lengths they go to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This page describes the process in building an engine as per original. http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/engines/raf4a-engine/raf-4a-engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charawacky Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Peter Jackson some time ago purchased a Crossley Tender, I am surprised this it not surfaced yet. Communication from the Crossley register has not been responded to, perhaps misdirected as his organisation must be quite large. Here is a picture without a body some time before export.

Charawacky Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes it is outside Johns, I suppose the unmade road is a giveaway. I am not sure who owned it later as it has passed a number of hands, but I remember seeing a photo when it was advertised in the hcvs newsletter. However I could not find my copy, so used this image.
