Today the Turangi Aero Club held a BBQ lunch fly-in in association with the late Bill Bennett's memorial.
The weather was really good at Turangi and the drive up was mostly fine all the way up. Apparently cloud and rain most likely heeded aircraft arriving from up north, but there was still a number of aircraft that flew in for the event.
Here is what I saw:

| Nice to finally see ZK-DYC, also in a new scheme, note the registration on tail coming off due to it only being tape |

| My only new one from the event, certainly a unique helicopter! |
