Extract

Opinions have been expressed in the past by such eminent people as the Duke of Edinburgh and E. A. Gibson and the NZ Civil Aviation Authority to this Society that there is a need throughout the world for an airborne equivalent of the tractor, or Land Rover. Current observations and market survey confirm that there is an expanding market in which this new aircraft has a huge role to play in agriculture and general land development because the existing specialist crop sprayers and converted conventional aircraft can only play but a part.
