Beavers and Beavers #1 ZK-BBX -- Update

Recently I posted about Fieldair's first Beaver ZK-AZB and I referenced the post that Dave Paull had done back in September 2010 on ZK-BBX which was Fieldair's second Beaver.  As nearly 14 years has passed since then, I thought I would do and update on ZK-BBX with a very early photo of it and which sadly does not end well:

ZK-BBX (c/n 324) was imported into New Zealand by the De Havilland Aircraft Company of NZ Ltd and was first registered to them on 22/8/52.  Its first flight here was at Rongotai on 7/1/53.  On 24/11/52 it was registered to Fieldair Ltd of Gisborne and it was delivered to Gisborne on 14/1/53.  The above photo of it at Paraparaumu in 1954 is sourced from Don Noble I understand.  It ran off an airstrip at Otoko and overturned on 12/5/55 and was repaired at Rongotai, making a test flight on 1/9/55.  Then it was damaged in a crash landing at Elsthorpe on 13/5/67 but it was repaired again to topdress another day.

It was repainted into the standard blue and white Fieldar colour scheme as seen here at Dannevirke on 2/3/69.

Like all the then survivng Fieldair Beavers it went through the various company reorganisations and resultant colour schemes, to Fieldair Holdings (Central) Ltd of Palmerston North on 18/11/80 and then to Feildair Holdings Ltd, also of Palmerston North on 30/3/84.  Here it is photo'd at Masterton on 8/7/81.

And here at Hamilton on 4/11/77,

And here at Palmerston North on 22/7/86.

On 4/11/88 it was registered to C Rye c/- Duffy Aircraft of Duffy, NSW as VH-IDR3.  Ownership transferred to Western Aerial Cropspraying Pty Ltd of Derrinallum in Victoria on 8/12/89 where the above photo of it was taken.  It was cancelled from the Australian register on 10/9/93 and exported back to New Zealand.

Back in New Zealand it was re-registered as ZK-BBX to James N W (Jim) Frogley of Havelock North on 13/9/93.  It is photo'd here as a sprayer at its Havelock North base on 16/12/93.

It was seen widely around the country, here at the Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow on 16/4/96.

And finally, here at the Wings Over Wairarapa airshow on 18/1/13.

Sadly it was badly damaged when it undershot a topdressing airstrip near the Napier/Taupo Road on 28/10/17.  It was sold to Auckland Seaplanes Ltd in a damaged condition on 10/6/18 and cancelled on 20/8/18. However Auckland Seaplanes went into liquidation in 2023.

There is a suggestion that ZK-BBX may be being rebuilt - can anyone provide any further information on this?
