Lake LA-4-200 Bucaneer ZK-EDK cancelled

Lake LA-4-200 Bucaneer ZK-EDK , c/n 469 ,was imported from the USA and assembled at Airwork Christchurch in November of 1974 for registration on 09-12-1974 to Rural Management Ltd and delivered to Float Air Ltd of Picton the same month.
These two b&w pics show it at the old Canterbury Aero Club site at Christchurch Airport on New Years Day of 1978.
Chemical Technology Ltd of Christchurch became the listed owners on 30-10-1981 and I recall it sitting for yonks out on the Simon Spencer-Bower airfield in a very tired state.

Ownership changed to John Rutherford on 19-06-89 and the aircraft was moved away; I believe into storage.
It has been cancelled for the NZ register as exported on 17-09-2009.
