ZK-BFA de
Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth
(c/n 85208)
Interestingly enough, the first
allocation of the registration ZK-BFA was for a British
Commonwealth Pacific Airlines (BCPA) Douglas DC-6. In the event
this mark was not
taken up and the airliner became ZK-BGA. ZK-BFB and ZK-BFC
were similarly re-
allocated in the -BG series. Anyway, here
is the replacement ZK-BFA with the Chrislea
Super Ace ZK-ASI
in the background at Hastings in 1954. This Tiger was ex
G-AMIX,
and was destroyed by fire in a crash at Matamata in
1965.
