Great video good to see it again
The aircraft was in fact set up for ag work
with a set of components sent over by
Fieldair but I think it was a two aircrew operation
as against our single pilot ops

I remember Country Calendar did a program about the DC-3 on ag-ops many years ago (mid eighties?). It was filmed around Fieldair's operation out of Gisborne from memory. Would be great to see that again
