I've managed to extract a couple more photos from the heap. Above is ZK-ECW as spied at Manapouri on 22-01-1984. And below is ZK-EDQ at Nelson on 27-12-1979 snuggled between Tigers ZK-BRM and ZK-BFS.
Thanks for the photos Blue Bus. I noted that the undercarriage of ZK-EDQ looks different in your photo from the photo I posted. Yours looks like a fixed undercarriage whereas I believe my photo shows a retractable - maybe it was converted from retracting to fixed to save some weight?

ReplyDeleteZK-FNQ was the first NZ built aircraft of French origin to have a retractible undercarriage.
