The Pacific Aerospace Air trainer is a development of the Victor air tourer
designed by John Taylor. It is still in production at pacific Aerospace in
Hamilton N.Z. The wings have a fair bit of dihedral, the tanks are wet
leading edges about three feet long nw the root, with the vents at the tips
(definatly a bit higher). I can't remember whether the operating procedures
had them running a boost pump continously.

I'll try and track down someone who still knows someone on this squadron to
get more info. This picture is from the RNZAF web site, but in my 18 months
on squadron I flew quite often with the instructors. (Inverted spinning is
wild!)
