Simmons Spartan

315 GIantic010  8.1 years ago

I built this version, based off of ZK-ABU. An aircraft with historcal significance to South Westland, New Zealand. Arthur Nancekivell used a converted Spartan for airmail service, charted flying and on occasion, an air ambulance, in the mid 1930's. Many of these claimed firsts.
