New Harvard arrives at Tauranga

Recently Tauranga received a new resident in the shape of Harvard 3 ZK-ENE which arrived last week from its former owners at Ashburton in the South Island.That brings 2 harvards residing here at Tauranga.

David Williams operates ZK-ENC from Classic flyers and i believe ENE will end up at Classic flyers but as yet unsure who is the new operator?

ZK-ENE Harvard seen parked up outside of classic flyers hangar a day after arriving from Ashburton.A welcome addition.
