Excellent TEAL (Air New Zealand) publicity photo of ZK-TEB over New Zealand's spectacular Southern Alps.

Withdrawn from use in 1947 and scrapped. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/State Library of New South Wales

Sold in Australia as VH-EBX in October 1950. Photo from Whites Aviation Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library.

Undated photo but postwar as the TEAL logo was not applied until then. ZK-AMA was delivered in 1939. It was towed into storage at RNZAF Hobsonville in November 1947. In August 1945 it was fast taxied, up on the step according to witnesses, to Mission Bay where it was to become an attraction. This was not to last and -AMA was scrapped in October 1950.

TEAL became Air New Zealand in 1965.

This aircraft was written off on a training flight at Auckland on 27 March 1965.

Photographed over the coast of California wearing the dual registration of ZK-TEA & N9724C, Scanned from a negative supplied by Lockheed.

Ex-VH-BPH with British Commonwealth Pacific Airways, ZK-BGC joined TEAL in May 1954 (ZK-BFC not taken up). In 1961 it was sold to the Royal New Zealand Air Force as NZ3633. In the background are an RAAF Canberra and DH98 Mosquito VH-WWS. The latter's history is known in detail and it was based at Sydney airport in between December 17, 1956 and February 19, 1957, so it is assumed that is when the photo was taken.. WWS otherwise operated from Camden/YSCN airport. Photo by the late Mary Thomas, of Sydney.

Photo taken by an unknown photographer in the second half of 1954. This aircraft had been VH-BPF with British Commonwealth Pacific Airways, a joint Anglo-Australian-New Zealand airline. BCPA closed down after a major accident and the remaining DC-6s transferred to TEAL, which was another tri-national airline but with a higher New Zealand ownership. VH-BPF became ZK-BGA on May 13, 1954 (ZK-BFA was not taken up, contrary to many sources), and was sold to the New Zealand air force as NZ3631 in 1961, the year TEAL became an entirely New Zealand-owned airline. TEAL would later change its name to Air New Zealand. Negative held by Bill Gray, Perth, Australia.
