Hi Ho, After kiwi-rsvr's post the other day I mentioned seeing some Brittens at Ruapuna so I dug out the home movies and found the footage.
So follow the link. My first upload to youtube and a bit dissappointed but you get the idea.
FK.

That's a nice bit of nostalgia to share.

I liked the poster at the beginning too.

Now thats bought a tear to my eye....I'll just have to open a Steinie and go shopping on the Sanza site

Ruapuna + Britten = more Kiwi than a Kiwi

Excellant stuff

Lovely machines. Brilliant engineer years ahead of his time. Shame he died as I bet we'd all be riding Britten's rather than Falcos..
