A Fieldair Dakota being stripped of it's paint and probably already out of service. Can anyone tell me the Registration? It would be nice if the topdresser experts here could put a date on it.  |

Now we have narrowed the location to Wanganui, it narrows the dates somewhat. "Ditch" Harding owned ZK-CAW from 1985-1989. After that it went to Taupo and currently resides at the McDonalds restaurant. CAW was the first DC-3 I ever saw flying, when it was operating from Wairoa in 1983. Such a distinctive sound and very impressive to watch take off with a full load of fert, the climb rate just exceeding the curvature of the earth !!
