This aircraft is not what it seems! It is an impostor, painted to resemble the original VH-TQN. This one was manufactured in 1985 and registered, in turn, PH-EXW (a trade plate), N244MA, PH-RFG, VT-NEH then ZK-POH. It was one of two Friendships acquired by the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society from New Zealand in 2017 and intended to be maintained in flying condition. Registered VH-TQN(3) on 18 January 2018. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
