I happened to pass through Ashburton on Sunday 13-04-2019 and note the Cessna 182P Skylane ZK-DCR was active and that it had not featured on these paged previously.
Cessna 182P c/n 63192 was built as N7413N in about the year of 1974 and went on line with La Grande Air Service Inc out of La Grande Oregon.
By 1976 D G Starr of Summerville Oregon was the proud operator until Pendleton Airmotive of Pendleton Oregon picked it up from 06-06-1979.
From 11-06-1980 it was in Bellevue Idaho with B Glassinger and then M L Stockhill of Boise Idaho from August of 85 until transferred over to Stockhill Aviation Inc over at Kalispell Montana from that November.
It had some sort of an incident and was cancelled from the US register on 05-05-1987 and ultimately imported into NZ by Aeromotive at Hamilton.
The carcass of N7413N as noted outside the Drake Aviation facility at Christchurch International on 11-05-1987.
Its rebuild was undertaken by Drake Aviation at Christchurch International and using the engine from the late Cessna 182Q ZK-DCJ (which had been damaged at Lake Ferry on 27-07-1987) was registered as ZK-DCR on 02-10-1987 with the Secretary for Transport for the Ministry of Transport.
Parked at Kaikoura on 24-05-1991 with the Ministry of Transport decal on the fin.
It remained with the Ministry until flogged off to the North Shore Aero Club and DCR Partnership (P G Stevenson) on 29-07-1991.
Seen below at North Shore on 01-12-1993.
Rick Lucas Helicopters of Palmerston North picked it up from 17-09-1999 followed by Tony Delaney of Mount Cook from 01-05-2001.
From mid-May of 2002 it was with the Eagle Hill Partnership of Oxford.
