Prototype of a six-seat utility aircraft. The project did not proceed beyond test flights and N6507C was shipped to New Zealand in 1962. It was converted to an agricultural aircraft and registered ZK-CCT. The c/n 102 would appear on the surface to be out-of-sequence for an aircraft built in 1955. However Fletcher had already allocated c/ns to an order for 100 aircraft from New Zealand. The delivery of the last of these in 1964 coincided with the sale of the FU-24 production rights to New Zealand. Fletcher photo.
