I am saddened to report the tragic loss of the Walter powered Fletcher Fu24 ZK-EUF at Fox Glacier today following a crash after take off. It claimed the lives of the pilot, the four tandem jump instructors and the four foreign tourist.
Alas I do not have a photograph of ZK-EUF in its parachuting role.
An earlier blog on this aircraft can be found at

Our sympathy and thoughts go out to all.
