Withdrawn from use in 1983. Fuselage reported to be at the Smash Palace Bar in Gisborne. ZK-BKD came to New Zealand in 1953 from Australian National Airways which had operated it as VH-ANU. Like other DC-3/C-47s in the ANA fleet it had been fitted with Wright R-1820 engines. The New Zealanders converted it back to Pratt and Whitney R-1830 engines. Bob Kerr photo.

Originally delivered to the USAAF in 1944, post war this aircraft was sold to Trans Pacific airlines and then Aloha Airlines before being converted for Ag work in Hong Kong in 1961. It worked as a "topdresser" in New Zealand from 1961 to 1981 and its last such flight was on 20 Jan 1981. It was then restored to military configuration by the "Silverstream Aviation Society" and painted in RNZAF colours, (for whom it never operated), and placed on display at Ohakea airbase. It was removed from display in 1998 and sold, arriving at Gisborne in May 2000. (With thanks to Nigel Hitchman).

NZ3142 was engaged in mock combat with P-40N NZ3147. Both aircraft had been loaded with live ammunition in a mix-up, exacerbated when the pilot of NZ3147 failed to select "off' for the gun solenoid. As a result he fired four rounds at NZ3142 which knocked out the hydraulics. NZ3142 belly landed after its undercarriage would not fully extend. The aircraft was repaired. Sold for scrap in 1948. NZ3147 survives and is to be restored to airworthy. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand
