ZK-AYH  Bristol Freighter 31                        (c/n  12828)

                                             

                                                    Built as G-AINM, but sold to SAFE in 1951 as ZK-AYH and named 'Endeavour'. (It probably
                                                    never carried the UK rego).  The aircraft was totally destroyed in a crash at Christchurch on
                                                    21 Nov 1957 when the outer starboard wing seperated and the machine fell on to the Russley
                                                    Golf Course, erupting in a ball of flame.  The failure was traced to fatigue failure in a wing spar
                                                    bolt hole.   The two crew and two passengers aboard were killed.  The photograph above was
