This Pitts Special was my Dads! Buddy Head...he built it when I was a child from our home garage in Irving, TX (USA). Not sure how it ended up in a museum in New Zealand, but I’m so happy to see that it is appreciated! He was a brilliant man and the aerobatics that he performed in this aircraft were awe inspiring!
