Operational History
First flown in 1957, the A1 successfully completed flight testing, but by that time the market for the larger Andrews A2 was clearly dominated by the more modern Fletcher Fu24.
The sole Andrews A1, ZK-BLU, was sold to a private owner. It was owned for many years by Alan Rowe, best known as the designer of the Rowe R6b model aircraft, and is now owned by P.G. Alexander of Blenheim, continuing to fly regularly.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
