Hello All “Down under”,
I see that Model 500A, s/n 500A-1274-97, in New Zealand as ZK-DCF, had its Registration Cancelled by their CAA as “registration revoked” on April 13th.
Last I knew of this one, it was at Sydney-Bankstown airport, Australia in December 2001.
Does anyone know of its current status?
Best Regards,
Barry Collman

Hi Barry,
Hows life in UK?
Was in London and Paris a couple of weeks ago. Just passed through London.
DCF is still sitting in the hangar that CAX spent many years.
Nothing much has happened. Spoke to Bill Hamilton who owns her a couple of week back.
Seems that Bruce Simpson has become involved in the plane. Hopefully things will happen.
I would really like to see her fly again.
Will get you some pics when I next go down there.
Cheers
Richard & Jaqui

Barry,
The aircraft is at Bankstown, YSBK, it will shortly be re-registered in Australia ( although VH-DCF is not available) and we are about to embark on a major refurbishment. Provided there are no showstoppers (unknown corrosion that may turn up) it should be back in the air in about 18 months.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton

Hi Barry and Richard, finally joined up on the forum. Yes ZK-DCF has been moved out of the old Illawarra hangar, I believe the first time she has seen the sun for nearly 10 years. I have her in a new hangar, where we are carrying out her rehabilitation survey. Have just got the SB's from Twin Commander and am x-checking the status. Provided I find no nasties in the WS 24 area and other major structure, we will get her back to flying status. Am awaiting some info from the NZ CAA regarding the SB 223 repairs. Am debating whether to keep the IO-470's or do an IO-520 conversion. But.. as you know 1 step at a time. I'd love to catch up with both you guys. I get to LHR a couple of times a year, in fact have just got back, managed to see the 'Edwardians' fly at shuttleworth, and chase down some L-200A Morava spares. So would appreciate phone/ email details.
Kind regards
Bruce Simpson

Hi Bruce,
Good news!
Grateful thanks for letting us know.
Of course, if you eventually do the IO-520 conversion (Colemill "Super
300"), there's a Gross Weight increase from 6,000lb to 6,530lb.
Let me know by email when you're next due into Heathrow.
If you haven't been to the RAF Museum at Hendon, we might be able to meet
up.
Best Regards,
Barry

A380 - You mentioned Let L-200 Morava. Do you own one? Because there is one sitting rotting at a farm outside of London that I had a look at. If you need spares, this is a complete aircraft, albeit in pretty bad shape. The guy has tried to sell it for a long time and wanted a bit too much, but he might have become more amenable as time has gone on without a sale.
