Q1_Aircraft: One less Quickie

Hi,

For those of you who like to keep statistics:

Christchurch-based Quickie ZK-MAC was totalled on 7th Nov 2004 while
attempting an emergency landing. The owner/pilot Trevor Shadbolt is
recovering at home.

I recently purchased (unregistered ex-) ZK-JGZ and will be shipping it
to Australia soon. There is now one remaining Quickie still registered
in New Zealand, ZK-PFD.

Rob

PFD dropped into the tide not long ago, present flying status,
unknown.

John,

According to Trevor Shadbolt:

'PFD is hung on a wall down at Omarama Airfield, the young pilot flew
it on a wet and miserable day from Kaikoura airfield which is right by
the sea he did not get out of Ground effect, then got into a even
smaller 'sea effect' and splashed down, they float well he jettisoned
the canopy, and paddled her in like a canoe. I believe he is going to
resurrect her again one day.'
