ZK-ALD  de Havilland D.H.94 Moth Minor            (c/n  94046)

                              

                                     These 'razor-back' conversions of Moth Minors were fairly common in New Zealand (and
                                     quite well done they were, too).   Note Pilot Officer Prune (for those us with WW II memories)
                                     about to board the craft.  This was the pre-war ZK-AHL owned by Airwork (NZ) Ltd, and
                                     impressed into the RNZAF as NZ595 in 1942.  It returned to Airwork in 1946 as ZK-ALD.
                                     (They were probably responsible for the cabin modification).   After a couple of private owners
                                     it went to the Otaki Aero Club in 1960.  After a period of inactivity it was restored to the register
                                     in 1977 with a c/n of 94046R.  Although no longer currently registered, it is believed to be a
                                     candidate for restoration.
