Photo Comment

Operating for Field Air this aircraft was badly damaged on 15th September 1989 after over running into a gully during an aborted take off at Whareora, NZ., and was cancelled from the register on 25th August 1997. It was restored to static display status by members of Gisborne Aviation Preservation Society and put on display outside the society's premises at Gisborne Airport where it also serves as a war memorial.
