ZK-DTT for Thailand

The two colour slide copies below have been kindly supplied by George Phillips and show the New Zealand Aerospace CT4A Airtrainer ZK-CTT (c/n 020) at Hamilton. 
This first flew on 29-08-1974 and was cancelled on 16-12-1974 for Delivery to the Royal Thai Air Force.

And below we have a magic monochrome photo of ZK-DTC (c/n CT4-004) which first flew at Hamilton on 24-01-1974. I shot it at Hamilton on 15-02-1974 whilst back in NZ on a short visit.
It was cancelled on 04-03-1974 and became 2-17 with the Royal Thai Air Force.
The Royal Thai Air Force I believe received fifty five Airtrainers.
All carried ZK registrations for test flying in NZ before delivery.
These where ZK-DIM, ZK-DQT, ZK-DTC to ZK-DTQ, ZK-DTS to ZK-DTZ and ZK-FZD to ZK-FZI.

Oops !
Almost forgot to mention the following that went that way.
There was the original delivery of the Airtourer T6 ex ZK-DHH in March of 1972 which paved the way for the Airtrainers above and also for the later deliveries below.
These had the test registrations of ZK-JIP2, ZK-JIQ2, ZK-JIR2, ZK-JIU2, ZK-JIV2, ZK-JJD2, ZK-JJE2, ZK-JKO, ZK-JKQ, ZK-JKU, ZK-JKV, ZK-JKX, ZK-JKY, ZK-JLJ, Zk-JLN, ZK-JLQ, ZK-JLS, ZK-JMX, ZK-JMZ, ZK-JNA, ZK-JNB, ZK-JPT, ZK-PTN and ZK-PTP2.
