Have a feeling the closest has the same colour scheme as the one lost in an accident 1963ish...
Other one CKP/KT ?
Not much help I know.

The closest aircraft is ZK-CEW; I,m still checking the other aircraft.

Chj and ckp

Think CHJ had the latter factory scheme - ZK-CEW was the one that lost in '65 [I was a few years out]

         Talking of CHJ...CVG in background Franz Josef G. 1969
         Notice anything unusual about them :-)
         Lousy Polaroid but glad I took it.

No spinners & are the skis up !

What else ??
Ian said...
Spinners were off most of the time then but yes the skis are up as the glacier was very smooth and icy so we landed on the wheels and taxied around :-)

From photos I have CEW and CKP.
Nice to see it on the old strip below the Hermitage, along the road to White Horse.
