CBI is still a 300hp,educated guess 1975ish. When they changed to Feildair the Tatco was overpainted with the goose, Great photos,thanks for sharing.

Read about it but never seen it until I came across this clip on Youtube. The obvious question is without a driver how does the loader get from airstrip to airstrip?. Can't see a bike rack on the Fatman so the pilot doesn't cycle back to pick it up..

Tatco also operated a couple of C180's and a Pawnee,one of your C180 photos Peter has BYJ as fleet No7 as well. Tatco also operated 2 seperate bases,Thames and Dargaville,is it possible the numbers relate to the aircraft at each of the bases,hence the double ups?. Thats another obscure one that would be nice to see.

If CLO hit a fence post while on a spraying run,that has to be one of the most miraclous Fletcher escapes ever,ususally that sort of damage puts a Fletcher upside down.

A PLANE crash which killed a British pilot was caused by a CROCODILE running amok in the cabin. Chris Wilson, 39, died with 19 others when terrified passengers fleeing the reptile bolted to the front of the small aircraft, making it flip. A survivor of the crash in the Democratic Republic of the Congo said the crocodile escaped from a traveller's large sports holdall. Panicking passengers rushed towards the cockpit of the small turbo-prop aircraft, causing it to nosedive out of control. It smashed into an empty house, killing first officer Chris, Belgian pilot Danny Philemotte, 62, and 18 of the 19 others aboard. The lone survivor told investigators the croc escaped from a large sports bag in which the reptile had been hidden by a passenger who planned to sell it.

CZA is in a pretty budget scheme for a WAW aircraft.
