ZK-TEC (cn 2011) Taken by my late father-in-law G H Downes on an obviously fine day in Wellington, this Electra bore the Maori name "Akaroa" (Long Harbour). Delivered to TEAL (later Air New Zealand) it was unfortunately written off in a crew training accident at Whenuapai on 27 March 1965. |

G-ASYE (cn 054) Held nearly 40 years ago, the opening of Auckland International Airport saw one of New Zealand's largest air displays. This BAC-111 was a company demonstrator from the UK and was here principally as NZ National Airways Corporation (NAC) were looking at using short/medium haul Jet passenger aircraft on the main trunk routes. NAC finally chose the Boeing 737-200 and the first three entered service in 1968. |
