A visit to Ardmore 9 December saw an encounter with 1967 edition Piper PA28-140 ZK-DJI. The very tidy, low houred classic is on the lot with Dennis Thompson International having spent a large part of her life hangared at Rotorua, but since 1975 when first registered in NZ it has resided at initially Rotorua, then Ashburton, Kerikeri, Kaitaia, Hanmer Springs and Nelson before heading back to Rotorua.
Ironically the last time I photographed ZK-DJI was on 8 December 1991 tied down outside the Nelson Aero Club.
This aircraft also spent sometime based at West Melton during the 90's
