Bristol Freighter In Nelson

[Gavin Conroy]

After all of the excitement regarding ZK-CPT at Omaka we decided to go over and have a look a ZK-CLU which is lovingly preserved at Founders Park in Nelson.
No cockpit shots are included as you can climb the ladder but the cockpit section has perspex screens all around so you cant get in but it allows vistiors to tour through the aircraft at any time and all of the equipment is there.
Very impressed with this aircraft, it looks like one could just get in and go.
Well done indeed to the folk at Founders Park.

Wow, that machine is certainly in fantastic condition, sn't it, for an outdoors aircraft. I agree, well done to the museum. Great photos of it too Gav, it looks like you got a lovely day for it.

I understand when this Bristol arrived for the museum it landed on the mudflats when the tide was out, and then dragged up there. I'd love to see film of that if any exists.

Did you see their Sioux too?
