And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The aircraft still exists and is flyable. I gather its still in New Zealand but was based overseas for a while (the US for 10 years 1974 - 1984 then to England) before returning to NZ in 1997 and being restored. It was the first registered commercial passenger aircraft in NZ (1934). Having a wee bit of passenger time in its cousin the Tiger Moth I suspect its a bit underpowered but its very pretty.
The horse's name was Biggles, half brother to the champion Algie. Dog on the far left was Zed, I don't know the others names. However the steamship in the background is the Union Steam Ship Matua
