RNZAF Andover NZ7621 Photo | Royal New Zealand Air Force Military Archive

Original colour print of RNZAF’s Andover transport aircraft–rare collectible for Cold War and Commonwealth aviation enthusiasts.

Measurements: approx. 6 x 4 inches

Dates: n/a

Condition: Previously mounted with a small double sided tape, otherwise in decent condition. 

Internal notes: QC passed

Bathed in soft daylight and set against a field speckled with wildflowers, this original colour photograph captures the RNZAF Andover NZ7621, poised beside a military hangar–its desert camouflage scheme and clean lines speaking of logistical precision and quiet strength. The moment is both still and powerful, evoking a time when aircraft like this served as vital lifelines across remote territories. This is Royal New Zealand Air Force aviation in its most grounded and authentic form.

Printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, this approx. 6 x 4 inch photo is a genuine period print–not a reprint or reproduction. The aircraft, clearly marked NZ7621, is a Hawker Siddeley Andover, a robust short-range military transport used extensively across Commonwealth air forces during the Cold War and post-Vietnam era. The tail number “21” and RNZAF insignia are cleanly visible, offering a high degree of collectible detail. While it shows signs of previous mounting (small double-sided tape residue), the print is otherwise in decent condition and has passed internal QC.

For collectors of Commonwealth air forces, Cold War military logistics, or rare RNZAF material, this image is both a visual anchor and a quiet tribute to a hard-working but often overlooked aircraft. Such photographs preserve the heritage of global defence cooperation, transport strategy, and the quieter heroes of military aviation history.
