Folks we realise our effort is fits and starts, we have said that it would be that way from the start, however some good movement today on NBV which we can hopefully update you on asap, and also hopefully a major announcement on NZC soon, but it has to be in the bag before anything is said. We appreciate your support, please know our effort never stops.

Our last Convair is making the long journey to Wānaka to remain as a piece of history on display at the National Toy and Transport Museum. It is bittersweet to see her go but nice to know we can visit her whenever we venture to Wānaka!

From Marcio Soutu, operations manager @ Eduardo Gomes International Airport Manaus, Brazil and friend of BOBH, DC-8-52 PP-TPC 'Daniel' (ex TEAL/Air NZ ZK-NZC) in better days, Manaus Brazil early 2000s. We are working through a legal process at this time that we hope will result in the sale of this airframe to BOBH - we'll keep you posted when we get an update. www.bringourbirdshome.co.nz https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/bringourbirdshome

Hi folks, some important developments we know you'll be interested in hearing about. Regarding B737-219 (ex NAC/Air NZ ZK-NAD) - our US based representative will be heading to Laurinburg-Maxton, Nth Carolina in the coming weeks for a face to face meeting with its owner, this should result in NAD finally returning to Kiwi ownership. Regarding B747-419 (ex Air NZ ZK-NBV) - we have re-established contact with owners Aersale. NBV is still at Roswell New Mexico and negotiations for the parted out airframe are about to begin. Regarding DC-8-52 (ex TEAL/Air NZ ZK-NZC) - we have completed the data gathering effort on the legal status of this airliner and are now in a position to fully understand and move forward with what needs to be done to clear airport company Infraero's sale of NZC to BOBH. It's all still a work in progress but it is progress - we'll update you when we know more. We can only do this work through your support and generosity, so if you can make any sort of donation to help fund the work needed to secure NAD and NZC that would be great.

NZC update. BOBH is now in possession of a full legal summary relating to the exact status of the airplane as part of the legacy fallout from the bankruptcy of TCB Cargo Airlines nearly two decades ago. From this we will be able to determine exactly how to navigate the legal playing field to unencumber the DC8 artefact from this drawn out process hopefully clearing the way for BOBH to purchase the airliner. We have very good Brazillian based legal resources who will help us do this. Again many thanks to Cesar Nogueira for pulling it together - we start on this asap, fingers crossed. www.bringourbirdshome.co.nz https://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/bringourbirdshome
