The Douglas DC-3A (C-53) N8336C c/n 7313 "Spirit of Douglas" flew into Christchurch International Airport on 17-03-2026 and has been based at the GCH Aviation facility.
Since arrival it has required an engine change and is now back in the air.
As you can imagine this aircraft has an extensive story to tell since its construction in mid 1942.
Far too much for me to include here.
A search of GOOGLE will produce screeds of information.
HERE is a good place to start.
It has also been briefly mentioned previously on this site see HERE
Below is a partial history as noted on the side of the airframe.
Tony McFarlin captured her returning to Christchurch today following a local flight.
