Undated photo of a mishap involving NZ103. It was written off in a forced landing near Christchurch on February 6, 1940. The location of the photo is given as Taupo . The present Taupo airport opened in 1965. Tauhara aerodrome had been Taupo's airport until then. Part of it remained in use at the time of upload for the Taupo Gliding Club. Most of the old Tauhara aerodrome has been redeveloped for horse and motor racing. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

NZ104 (with code B5) crashed into Lake Ellesmere on June 6, 1939 and was destroyed. The location of this photo is given as Birdlings Flat, which was an aerodrome adjoining the Lake Ellesmere bombing range. It opened in 1939. To have been repaired and given a new code in under six months seems unlikely. In July 1938 NZ104 was damaged in a forced landing "at Cape Campbell". The background in the photo is similar to that at Lake Grassmere which is near Cape Campbell. It is highly likely this is that accident. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand
