ZK-ASC  de Havilland D.H.82a Tiger Moth                        (c/n  DHNZ 52)

                              

                                     This is a Jim Dyson photograph (courtesy of David Molesworth) taken, I would think, in the
                                     mid 1950s when this machine was on the books of Manawatu Aerial Topdressing.  It had
                                     been allocated to the Middle Districts Aero Club upon being civilianized in 1948.  It crashed
                                     at Punakitere, near Kaikohe on 17 May 1957 whilst in the service of Advance Aviation, and
                                     was written off.
