We have covered the EAA Acrosport II ZK-DJK2 previously on the blog (you can search for it) but we have not managed a decent photo of it, or chronicled what happened to it. Peter Dorbeck who has been photographing aircraft at Ardmore for many years has recently shared a nice photo of it taken in 2006:
ZK-DJK2 (c/n 1483) was registered on 17/2/00 and was based at Ardmore. In a very sad situation it crashed into the sea off Great Barrier Island on 23/5/14 with the loss of the pilot and was not found at the time despite extensive aerial searches. Its registration was cancelled on 13/6/14. Later in a one in a million chance it was snagged by a fishing boat on 7/8/14 and the wreckage was recovered.
