A collection of North Island aircraft passed through Rangiora yesterday (Friday 10-07-2009).
Below is a selection.
1960 vintage Cessna 210 ZK-RJS , c/n 210-57096 , at the Shell pumps. Following a 35 year stint in Australia this came to NZ for C H Mellsop of Hamilton, followed by a short time with Coromandel Phamacy and from 20-05-1997 it has been listed with C J & D R Hickman of Te Kuiti (Hickman Motors Te Kuiti)..JPG)
Of even greater vintage was this 1957 Cessna 172 ZK-REV2 , c/n 29853 , listed with Trevor Hall of Te Awamutu since 02-05-2006. This also had a longthy Australian past history; In fact it still bears the "Lynch & Keft" titles from those days. Just above the venturi it carries the words "Wayebyn Too".
At a mere 29 years young was the Cessna 152 11 ZK-NPE , c/n 84064 , from Air Napier (until recently a local with the Christchurch /New Zealand Flying School). Off course with a registration like that, it has served with the New Plymouth Aero Club in. Actually it began as ZK-ETH with them in February of 1980 and changed to NPE on 23-07-1987.
ZK-EKM is Cessna 152 11 , c/n 80954 , which makes it older than NPE. It started with the Airline Flying Club in late 1978. Since January of 2008 it has been with Air Napier.
Below is the Cessna 180 ZK-CBH3 , c/n 32542 , imported from the US in early 2006.
ZK-BHP2 is a Cessna 182B Skylane. Built in 1959. Moved to Australia in 1966 as VH-BHP and to NZ in November 2006 for H H Ross of Hastings.
