Air New Zealand's Harvard and a Safe Air Bristol Freighter hulk
I am looking for registrations for these two aircraft... can you help?
This Harvard was taken at Christchurch on 29 September 1985.,, What was its RNZAF registration? Photo : S Lowe
Taken at Woodbourne on 7 February 1987... What was the rego of this Bristol Freighter. Photo : S Lowe
I'd hazard a guess and say that the Freighter hulk is ZK-CAM. The rear fuselage from CAM went to ZK-CLT after a mishap during undercarriage retracting testing with Argosy ZK-SAE resulted in the Argosy's wing dropping on CLT's portside tailplane. That incident happened some six years before this photo was taken
The Harvard looks like NZ1041, which was at the Air New Zealand TTS Mangere for some years in those colours.
