Auckland Weekend Trip #2

 Todays plan was to visit fields around the Auckland area, first stop was Whenuapai after having breakfast at Auckland. the gliders seemed to be starting to get into action as I got there, this is what I noted:

ZK-RDW B & F Technik Vertri FK 9 Mk IV

There was also some RNZAF stuff there but were unidentified due to the position they were in.
