The name may be a tongue-in-cheek reference to past accidents. The engine is a 150hp Lycoming O-320, which is the L in its designation. The engine failed at Te Karaka on July 19, 2012 causing ZK-BRA to crash. The aircraft is slated for rebuild. Bob Kerr photo This photo was added on 6 July 2023, and has since been viewed 102 times. |
