Cessna A150L Aerobat ZK-DHT.


Anonymous has requested a photo of the Cessna A150L Aerobat ZK-DHT c/n A150L-0361.
Here it is at Paraparaumu on 10-11-1973.
This little Aerobat arrived at Auckland aboard the MV Leverbank on 29-12-1972 for Rex Aviation, to whom it was registered on 19-02-73. It first flew here and gained its certificate of airworthiness on 02-03-73 and was listed to the Hawera Aero Club on 21-07-73.
It crashed on take off from a farm strip near Awakino on 15-05-1976, with its registration being cancelled on 16-06-76.
I have a colour slide of it filed away someplace but it could be some time before I find it.
