That is Will Slack in this photo; not sure
where.
Then Bryan went on to the Cessna A188B Agwagon C ZK-DPP (c/n 188-01524) in late 1975.

Then on to Cessna A188B ZK-DPW (c/n 188-01515). Photo taken at Kotemaori on the Napier

This is Ponui Station strip towards the coast from Kotemaori.
The Ponui Station strip once again with quite a dog leg in it.
This is the strip at Putorino. The same one show in an earlier posting with Fletcher ZK-EMK sowing up the strip.

I think of all the aircraft I flew, the Agwagon I enjoyed most, even though it was a bit under powered.
All three of these aircraft eventually ended up in Australia.
i was bryans loader driver when the pawnees were sold and we got the new ag wagons. bryan was a good all round bloke and fun to work with.
ReplyDeletePhoto of ZK-DPP. I delivered her brand new to Bridge Pa on the 20th September 1975, about the time this photo was taken I guess and took Pawnee ZK-CIE back to Ardmore same day.
