Trying to identify all aircraft operated by the NAC Sports & Social Club, Christchurch. I'm aware of three so far:
ZK-ARX, DH-82A Tiger Moth (82392), 6 Oct 1950 - 8 Sep 1960. ZK-BZB, PA-28-160 Cherokee (28-627), 16 Oct 1972 - 19 Jan 1982. ZK-DHG, PA-32-260 Cherokee Six (32-699), 15 Mar 1972 - 22 Jan 1981.
End dates for BZB and DHG presumably reflect changes in registered ownership, as NAC had already been swallowed up by Air New Zealand.
Interested in aircraft operated between 1960 and 1972.

This will seem obtuse, but it reminds me of GLERC (Georgia Lockheed Employees Recreation Club).

Should have done some basic research before making my request! Found two more aircraft operated by this club. ZK-AXF, Auster J/1B (2674) converted to J/1Y 1968, 24 Jan 1956 - 27 Feb 1973. ZK-BSC, PA-22-150 Tri-Pacer (22-5410), 6 May 1963 - 30 Aug 1970, w/o near Eltham.
As for airline/aircraft manufacturer/military service flying clubs, plenty here (and overseas I'm sure). The NAC club was based in Christchurch but there was a similar club in Palmerston North. The NAC club became in time the Air New Zealand Sports and Social Club.
