That's more than a little sad!

She was dad's 'aeroplane' when he was at Mt Cook in '66. Brand spanking new then & was red & white - an arguably safer colour when operating in the snow than the pale blue & white used later & shown in the photo. The red 'safety' strips are a consession to that. She arrived with CKP, which became the Chief Pilot's plane.

It sure would be nice to have the money to buy her & do her up.
