ZK-BCC  de Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth          (c/n  DHNZ46)

                                          

                                                 Surprisingly, this was a New Zealand built Tiger, made from a Cowley built fuselage and
                                                 locally supplied planes and tail.  Although declared surplus in 1947 it remained in storage
                                                 and was only civilly registered in 1953, having been issued to the Hawkes Bay and East
                                                 Coast Aero Club and stored by them for several years.  It crashed at Porangahau when it
                                                 hit an obstruction at the end of the airstrip while landing on 3 Sept 1960. The aircraft was
                                                 not repaired and the registration was cancelled in November of 1960.
