| Description |
The aircraft shown here ("Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer") is based at Ardmore and is painted in the colour scheme of NZ2415 from No. 3 Squadron (TAF), flown in the early 1950's by Squadron Leader Ray Archibald, the squadron's CO. It was originally built in 1944 at Inglewood (P-51D-30-NA, Ser no 44-74829, c/n 122-41369) and served with the Royal Canadian Airforce. It was imported into New Zealand in 1984 by Sir Tim Wallis and first flew here in January, 1985. Tim Wallis subsequently sold the aircraft and it was operated by a trust set up to keep it in the country, before passing to an Ardmore based syndicate. This syndicate disbanded and NZ2415 has been owned by Christchurch based Graham Bethell. Apart from occasional sorties south NZ2415 operates from Ardmore and provides many ‘thrill –seeker’ rides .
