A labour of love is nearly over for Harvard NZ1044 owner, Bevan Dewes, of Masterton.
Mr Dewes and a Wānaka team of Twenty24 engineers have been working for two and a-half years on the 80-year-old World War 2 aircraft, which first flew in Texas in 1943 before entering service in the RNZAF.
It was put into storage at Wigram in 1958, then passed through various owners before Mr Dewes bought it in 2020.
