Made in NZ: WW1 rotary engines

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm today

Today we're touching down at Omaka Aerodrome, just outside Blenheim. For the last twenty years Tony Wytenburg has been running 'Classic Aero machining service'. He manufactures bespoke aircraft parts including, he says, being the world's only supplier for WW1 era rotary engines. But the names a bit misleading, but according to Tony, if you need a part for just about anything, they can make it for you.
