These firstfour pics taken by Colin Boag on a cell phone (therefore not of brilliant quality) show the Aero L-29 Delfin ZK-SSS at rest on the edge of Postmans Road after over running the runway at North Shore this afternoon. No injuries sustained.

The next three photos from David Atchinson, taken later during the removal of SSS back to the hangars.
Note the pronounced dip in the runway as seen from the damaged fence on Postmans Road.
How did it over run the runway? Looks like the nose gear collapsed.
ReplyDeleteHow much to fix the aircraft I wonder?
Who on earth would fly a jet in to/out of North Shore - even if the "book values" say it could be done?

Just saw SSS on SH1 outside of Taupo... Any ideas of what it's up to now?
ReplyDeleteI have heard a rumour that it and SSU are going to Timaru
