  7. Bluebus, is it a twin engine? Turboprop? Beech? Cessna? De Havilland? Piper? Mooney?

    Taildragger? Tricycle? North or south island based?

    Process of elimination?!

  8. Evening & welcome aboard Sir Minty.
    It is not a rotary machine and not at Queenstown.

    PD : Now look here comrade! You are meant to be telling me - NOT asking me.
    But - Because you ask so nicely, it is from one of the big three from the US of A. With a photo background like that - It has to be in the mainland, but there is one in the Pig Island, but I cannot recall seing this intake on it. I don't know of any twin engine or turbine conversion yet.
