This photograph showcases the AESL Airtourer 115 ZK-CWD (msn 511), a vintage aircraft belonging to the Mercury Bay Aero Club, circa 1970. The Airtourer 115 is a versatile and popular aircraft model, manufactured by AESL (Aero Engineers and Aircraft Limited) of New Zealand. With its distinctive design and sleek lines, this aeroplane was a favorite among private pilots and flying enthusiasts during the era. The Airtourer 115 is a single-engine, high-wing monoplane, capable of carrying up to five passengers and a pilot. Its robust design and reliable performance made it an ideal choice for both short-haul transportation and recreational flying. The aircraft in this photograph, ZK-CWD, bears the distinctive Mercury Bay Aero Club livery, adding a touch of local pride and identity. The image captures the Airtourer 115 as it prepares for takeoff, with the pilot poised at the controls and the engine roaring to life. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the aircraft readies itself to soar into the open sky. The surrounding landscape, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, serves as a picturesque backdrop to this moment of aviation history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of general aviation and the thrill of flight. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when the freedom of the open skies was within reach for those who dared to dream and take to the air. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of such moments, preserving the history and spirit of aviation for future generations to enjoy.
