ZK-AWD   Auster 5                                           (c/n  1105)

                                    

                                              ZK-AWD was the former G-AJYD although it was built for the RAF as Taylorcraft Auster
                                              Mk. IV NJ731.   It was exported to New Zealand at the end of 1950 for a R. Allison.  The
                                              non contrasty rego is hard to discern.   I believe it was red on dark blue.  Not a good combo.
                                              ZK-AWD crashed during take off while top dressing at Menzies Bay on 4 June 1955.
