and machinists, and people experienced in the complexities of fabric covered aircraft. This is the

first time since WW1 that these aircraft are being produced in a factory setting, although we utilise

the most modern CNC and CAD technology to increase accuracy and reduce labour costs. Working

relationships with other restoration facilities and museums in Europe, Australia, Canada and in the

USA assists TVAL in sourcing information as well as technical data and original parts for duplication

and reproduction.

The Vintage Aviator Ltd. works to New Zealand Civil Aviation Administration standards aircraft man-

ufacturing. This creative manufacturing scheme is a first for New Zealand and the world. Our ap-

proved process and procedures manual dictates how we accomplish each task and our inspection

process ensures that the highest standards and utmost accuracy are achieved.
