Saint in Paradise Posted 13 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 13 November, 2008 In Google Earth go to Taupo, New Zealand. Look for the junction of "Lake Terrace" and "Ruaphu Street" and you will see that DC 3 in the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 13 November, 2008 Share Posted 13 November, 2008 When was it put there Seatbelt..? I've visited Taupo a few times, and I don't remember it. I do remember buying a book by NZ bush-whacker, author & legend, Barry Crump, called Hang On A Minute Mate, while I was there. I also bought a sports top. Just checked the book case, Barry's still there, but my sports top wore out a few years ago. I also discovered, in a Taupo restaurant, that Thai Green Chicken Curry was heavenly, as it was the best one I'd ever tasted. But no DC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 13 November, 2008 Share Posted 13 November, 2008 What the **** happened there, that the link from yesterday! I noticed that. I was just about to post a withering, sarcastic put down of your effort, Pancake, and post the correct Google Map, when I screwed it up too. So I gave up..!

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 13 November, 2008 Share Posted 13 November, 2008 I maybe wrong, but I think (unless it skidded a hell of a long way) Fort Lauderdale is a hell of a long way from Taupo, New Zealand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 13 November, 2008 Share Posted 13 November, 2008 Above is just an example. As sorry, I thought you asked if it was how it got there. I would imagine it was purchased and transported there, but again, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al de Man Posted 13 November, 2008 Share Posted 13 November, 2008 I went to another plane converted as a cafe in NZ. No idea where it was though as it was back in 1997. I might go and dig out the photos and work out where it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went out of season but they were kind enough to open it up and let us have a look around. The Cadbury's factory didn't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
