Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

With the opening up of new pastures in New Zealand many hundreds of miles of new fencing were required; aircraft which have been previously employed in distributing fertilizers, were used to drop fencing posts and wire. The materials were carried in racks under the wings of the planes and deposited in the areas required.
