All is not as it seems! This aircraft was built as a civil Victa Airtourer 100 and registered VH-MFM on 30 August 1963. It was re-registered as VH-CNO(2) on 5 January 1967. It never served with the RNZAF but has been painted into fictitious markings, using the cn as a code. Judging by the spinner, it may have also been re-engined with a higher-power engine as well.
