                                          Cropped shot of the former ZK-AEG which had been impressed as NZ553 and re-registered
                                          ZK-AHW to Union Airways upon resuming civil duties.  At that time it had been named
                                          'Korimako'.  It is seen here outside the company's hangar at Auckland in the mid 1940s.
                                          This machine was returned to RNZAF care in 1946 and and reduced to spares in 1947.
