The Wings Over New Zealand Show Episode 125 is now online. It is "Wings Over Australia - The Historical Aircraft Restoration Society".
James Kightly and I visit the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, or HARS, at Albion Park in Illawarra, New South Wales. We talk first with Jim Thurstan, who is one of the volunteer engineers restoring the Fokker F-VII Trimotor “Southern Cross” replica VH-USU.
And then we joined HARS chairman Bob Delahunty in the cockpit of the collection’s flagship, the Lockheed Super Constellation, to talk about the history of HARS. Bob tells how it all started with an ex-RNZAF Harvard, and the rescue of the Lockheed Neptunes, which led on then to the recovery and restoration of the Super Constellation, and more.
