The late ZK-DUW.

We did an earlier post on the Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee Cruiser ZK-DUW (c/n 28-7525033)

See Here

Below we see a shot of ZK-DUW at Pudding Hill on 25-01-1981.

 After being withdrawn in about mid-2013 with over 33,000 hours, it was dismantled and stored in the Canterbury Aero Club hangar, along with several others for a period.

 Then it was removed - placed in a container.

And now we see two shot of her as 4R-MDE with Openskies Flight Training of Ratmalana Airport in Sri Lanka.

Two of the other Piper PA-28's ex Canterbury Aero Club are also on line at Ratmalana.

ZK-EBM is  now 4R-MDG and ZK-EBV is 4R-MGF.

I belive several of the flying staff at Openskies were trained at the Canterbury Aero Club.
