It was listed to Aerocraft (NZ) Ltd at PN on May 26th, and then to the Palmerston North Flying School on 18-08-1969.
Later in 1969 it was working with the Hokitika Aero Club when it had an engine failure (30-01-79) and was damaged.
By 08-04-70 it was listed with M Cornick of Marton and then the Marton Flying Group from 03-08-1973.
In late 1975 it went to a syndicate of F N Alexander, T Vosper, & M Cornick at Marton.
Evelyn Strugnell features as the owner from 17-10-83, still at PN. I believe some restoration work was then caried out before a change to C I Thompson at New Plymouth took place from 15-08-1991.
A return to PN saw it with Denis Moore from 27-04-95 and the final owner was Masterfix Ltd from 11-08-05.
On approach to Pahiatua on 09-11-2008 it struck trees and has been cancelled as from 07-09-09.
