I remember when

I remember when there where five Douglas DC-3's parked in rotten row at Christchurch Airport in 1979 - 1980.
Here is a shot of one of our not so well known DC-3's, ZK-ERI c/n 16965/34225 taken on 02-03-1979.
This was ex NZ3553 with the RNZAF until joining the NZ civil register on 06-12-1978.
It ended up with the South African Air Force and was converted to turboprop.
I believe it ended its days rotting in Mozambique as ZS-LJI.
