ZK-AMO was the last flying boat, withdrawn in September 1960. At the time you flew there were also ZK-AML and ZK-AMN (both sold to Aquila in the UK in 1954), ZK-AMM (burned out May 1954), ZK-AMG (withdrawn 1955) and ZK-AMQ (withdrawn 1956). Most of the regs between ZK-AMA and ZK-AMQ were used by the various big TEAL flying boats at some time postwar, not all at the same time. Flying boats were still on the runs to Australia and occasionally to the Chathams until mid-1954, when the fleet was halved from six to three, and then progressively reduced further as only one aircraft was required to handle the fortnightly Coral Route to Tahiti and the intermediate flights to Suva.
