Andrews A1

Andrews A1

The Andrews A1 is an unsuccessful New Zealand agricultural aircraft.

The Andrews A2 was designed by C.G. Andrews in Wellington, New Zealand, intended to compete in the market for a de Havilland Tiger Moth replacement in New Zealand's Aerial Topdressing industry. From the outset it was intended that a semi scale model of the type be built and flown to prove the design, as the Andrews A1.

The Andrews A1 is a conventional low wing thick section monoplane of plywood covered spruce and steel construction with a bubble type canopy powered by a 65 hp Contenital flat 4 aircooled engine and spatted tail wheel undercarriage. It flew in 1957 and successfully completed flight testing, but by that time the market for the Andrews A2 was cleary dominated by the more modern Fletcher Fu24.

The sole Andrews A1, ZK BLU, was sold to private ownership. It is owned by P.G. Alexander of Blenheim and continues to fly regularly.
