01/31/2017. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Ernest A. Bode of Littleton, Colorado, USA, designed and built a three-seat replica biplane based on the pre-WW II taperwing Waco biplanes; the prototype was first flown on May 5, 1984. Bode formed the Nuwaco Aircraft Company and plans, kits as well as completely built aircraft became available. Reportedly the company was dissolved in 2000.

The pictured aircraft was built by David K. Allen of Monument, Colorado, presently it is registered ZK-WTW to Martin Paul Cantlon of Mount Maunganui, New Zealand."
