Mustang ZK-MUS with the prize for winning being a DH82 Tiger Moth registered was certainly a head turner today when it arrived at Motueka, near Nelson, from its Wellington base. It later returned to Wellington. Motueka has, to the author's best recollection, only ever had one other jet visitor back in the late 80's when Boyd Munro, winner of the Singapore-Christchurch air race, flew his Cessna Citation N1UH to/from Motueka. Incidentally, Boyd one the race in his Piper PA31 Panther N7XB with the prize being DH82 Tigermoth ZK-PDL!
