The last NZ model was the Newmans ansair clipper.... 2800 models.... The New Zealand Enviro 500 is a one off repaint.... fingers crossed it'll be produced by one of the manufacturers.

Re: Calabros Atlantean
sadly, the weathers crap today here, very cloudy and drizzle so this is the best outdoor pic possible, I'll do more in better weather soon but hope it stirs up fond memories for anyone who knew the interesting background to Calabros. A really interesting fleet and a bit of everything.
