Thruster ZK-FJF c/n MAANZ/268 first appeared with Jack Wilson of Timaru mid 1984. In November of 2004 it was listed to Bevan Scott of Rangiora. I caught it today committing aviation.
But the newest machine on the patch is the Pober Pixie.

This Pober Pixie was a project up in the Russell area back in about 1999 but I believe medical issues resulted in the project being sold to Nick Key of Rangiora. Nick operated the Mirage ZK-EYN between 2003 and 2005 before flogging it off to Craig Pilcher of Timaru. Nick in turn sold it to Mike Sheffield of Kaiapoi (previously operated CGS Hawk ZK-TTB) who has produced this lovely little aircraft which was registered as ZK-PXI on 08-06-2009. It had its engine running back in April. Now after finishing off a few remaining items should reach for the sky very soon.
Pic below was its status on 29-09-2006.
