ZK-BBV de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n DHA500)
Australian-built. Served with RNZAF as NZ1414. Issued free
to Waikato Aero Club, and
stored by them
between 1949 and 1952. My shot shows it in late 1952. . Badly
damaged
when it crashed
in the Parakeka Valley in 1962. It was rebuilt but then crashed
into a hillside
at Ohaupo on 01
March 1964 while on a flight from Te Kuiti to Rukuhia. Pilot and
passenger
were unhurt but the
aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Bits and pieces may
survive.
