NZ Avenger fires up

摘要

At the Classic Flyers Aviation Museum at Tauranga Airport on the North Island of New Zealand, former Royal New Zealand Air Force Grumman TBF-1 NZ2539 recently had its Wright R-2600 Cyclone ground-run just three-and-a-half years after arriving at the museum hangar as a total derelict. For the 15 museum volunteers it is their second Avenger restoration in less than four years, the team having completed TBF-1 NZ2505 on behalf of its owners, the Gisborne Aviation Preservation Society (GAPS), during the summer of 2016.
