More on the Sad Endings at Whangarei

Back in early June I posted about the sad ending of Pioneer 200 ZK-CIR at Whangarei.  There were several other airframes in behind of which several people wondered what they were.  Now thanks to Pete Garlick we have details and photos of them:

Cessna 172K ZK-NCA2 crashed at Whangarei in July 2010 due to suspected carb icing and was cancelled on 22/5/13.  It hasn't been posted on the blog previously so this is all you are going to get.

Cherokee 140 ZK-CNN was withdrawn from use and cancelled on 10/1/11.  It also doesn't seem to have appeared on the blog previously.

And finally this is also where the Morane-Saulnier MS 880B Rallye ZK-CKK has met its end.  This has had a long and recently not very happy history, having been damaged at Ardmore in December 1989 and eventually being cancelled in August 2000.  It then underwent a long rebuild being registered again on 1/2/07.  It sat outside at North Shore for a long time during which time water leaked through the canopy and caused irrepairable damage to the main spar.  So it was cancelled again on 20/6/23.  There are photos of it on the blog if you want to go back and have a look.

Thanks very much for the photos and information Pete.
