With the move of the Mangaweka Douglas DC-3 ZK-APK to Shannon for restoration, hopefully (https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300301138/future-of-mangawekas-iconic-plane-up-in-the-air), I decided to pull out the photos I've taken of APK over the years...

what about when it was painted in cookie time colors. remember it as a cafe as a teenager going there
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I have a photo somewhere when it was painted in the cookie time colors. My wife and I had just recently been talking about stopping there for a coffee on our way to see family in Palmerston North, before we moved to Australia in 2003. I was somewhat surprised to come across the fact that it has now gone. I still have one thing left on my bucket list to do and that is to fly on Air Chathams DC3. Unfortunately Covid has become a bit of a stumbling block trying to get back across the ditch.
