Diamond DA40 PK-VVL at Woodbourne.

 Spotted at RNZAF Base Woodbourne the other day were three civil registered aircraft.
On the left we have the Classic Flights Piper PA-28-140D ZK-DEB c/n 28-7124115 which was damaged whilst landing back at Wanaka on 02-11-2019 after loosing a wheel. 
Its registration was cancelled on 05-10-2020.

More details on this incident here -:

On the right you can see the tail and left wing of the Cessna 172D ZK-CDJ c/n 17250942 of  Hippeastrum Trust/Martin Patterson which had been cancelled as withdrawn at Timaru on 06-02-2020.

The airframe of great interest in the centre is the Diamond DA40TDi Diamond Star PK-VVL c/n D4.189 which was damaged on 28-10-2008.

See link below for an interesting accident report.


The gray hulk in the background is the RNZAF Lockheed Orion NZ4203.

    1. I'm at NMIT who own these aircraft and the green fuselage belongs to a AS350-fennec.

  2. Hello Anonymous.

    I noted that fuselage but didn't comment on it as I also am not sure what it is.

    Somebody else might offer an ID !

  3. I had noted that fuselage but was uncertain what it was so made no comment.

    Maybe somebody else can make an ID for us !

    I don't suppose it still has its manufacturers plate attached.
    Would be nice to know its Manufactures Number for the records.
    Cheers
