Geyserland Commanders...

Following up on Bruce Gavin's piece about Geyserland Airways (http://3rdlevelnz.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-zealand-civil-aircraft-blog.html) Ewan Smith, the Managing Direcctor of Air Rarotonga sent in the photos below of Geyserland's Aero Commanders via Mike Condon. He writes... I worked for Air North for the three years prior to moving to Rarotonga and have a couple of old photographs of the Commanders I used to fly. These were taken in 1972 I think. There was one other - VH-EXZ which we had on lease from Australia for a period while ZK-DBQ was being rebuilt following an incident at Kataia. Anyway, you might find the pictures interesting. Cheers/Ewan
