Question time # 130

Can you put a registration on these two Cessna 185's.
Mid 1960's and I suspect at the Birch Hill Strip at Mt Cook.

  1. Have a feeling the closest has the same colour scheme as the one lost in an accident 1963ish...
    Other one CKP/KT ?
    Not much help I know.

  2. The closest aircraft is ZK-CEW; I,m still checking the other aircraft.

  3. Think CHJ had the latter factory scheme - ZK-CEW was the one that lost in '65 [I was a few years out]

  6. Spinners were off most of the time then but yes the skis are up as the glacier was very smooth and icy so we landed on the wheels and taxied around :-)
