Looking for a photograph of this aircraft at any time in its life.
Started out as G-18-152 with Bristol Aircraft Co. in early 1954, c/n 13160. Sold to the Pakistan AF as S4407 a Mk.31M-VIP Transport in March 1954, then to Safe-Air in October 1966 where it was allocated the registration ZK-CRL. Scrapped in April 1977.

Retirement is something for the young.
Once you are old you never seem to have the time.

No, not the first Dave.
This was the only Bristol to come directly from Pakistan and never to be actually operated by Safe-Air in NZ (used for parts). The other ex-PAF ones either came via Australia, or were put into service in NZ.
