Ex RNZAF
NZ786. Civilianized in 1948 for T. Nevell of Otago, but sold on
to Airwork NZ
Ltd. who registered it
initially. It was loaned to the South
Canterbury Aero Club for some time
before being
converted to a topdresser
in 1950. It went then to Gisborne Aerial Topdressing
in 1951. (This company
changed its name to Fieldair Ltd). ZK-ASV was cancelled from the
register in 1953 following a crash
at Otoko. It lay dormant for many years and was ressurected
in 1995 following a complete rebuild at
Mandeville. It is currently airworthy in New Zealand with
Croydon Aircraft Co at Mandeville.
