Sunderland NZ4115 Request for information

 

MY NAME IS MIKE SMITH (59) I AM A MEMBER OF MOTAT AVIATION FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS AND HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON SUNDERLAND NZ 4115 AND HAVE DECIDED TO WRITE A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THIS AIRCRAFT .

I HAVE OBTAINED FROM THE AIR FORCE MUSEUM AT WIGRAM CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOS AND A LOT OF COPIED DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE PURCHASE OF THIS AIRCRAFT INCLUDING THE RECIETS FOR THE AIRCRAFT AND GUNS LISTS OF THE EQUIPMENT PACKS AND THERE CONTENTS AND A LOT OF OTHER INTRESTING DOCUMENTS

ALSO COPYS OF THE LETTERS REQUESTING THE AIRCRAFT BETWEEN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AND MOTAT .

I WAS HOPING TO BE ABLE TO CONTACT ANY MEMBERS OF AIRCREW WHO FLEW IN NZ 4115 .

I ALSO HAVE COPYS OF DRAWINGS OF THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS OF THE AIRCRAFT SUPPLIED BY MOTAT .

I HAVE MANY PHOTOS OF THE RESTORATION AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF YOUR MEMBERS OR THE ASSOCIATION  WOULD HAVE ANY PHOTOS OR DOCUMENTS OF NZ 4115 THAT I COULD COPY FOR MY HISTORY .

THE FLIGHT LOG BOOK OF NZ 4115 UNFORTUNATLY IS GONE .

I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME OR MAYBE I COULD HELP YOUR ASSOCIATION IN SOME WAY   micsmith@orcon.net.nz
