Beaver on site. Now ZK-WKA.

Spotted today at Ardmore by Magnaman was the long expected second De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver for Auckland Seaplanes.
                            C/n 1585 was built as KAF109 for the Kenyan Air Force.
                         Sold in 1979 it became N5595A followed by ZS-LJL in 1982.
It was back to Canada in 1989 to become C-GLPL and then to N222BS in February of 1994.
The above photograph was taken by Alexis Antonakis in 2005.

It was registered as ZK-WKA to Auckland Seaplanes Ltd on 08-97-2015. 08-07-2015.
