Part 2 of the Mount Cook Airlines' story revisited

Thanks to JHM who sent in these great photos further illustrating the second part of the Mount Cook story which was posted last month...

The last DH Dominie was sold in 1974 - ZK-ALB was photographed at Christchurch on 16 May 1974 before being exported to Australia as VH-IAN. It later became VH-UTV.

Mount Cook Airlines' second Hawker Siddeley 748 ZK-DES early in the morning of 1 February 1972

Two Grumman Widgeons at Christchurch - ZK-CHG is photographed on 11 September 1975 while another Widgeon can be seen under the nose in the background - perhaps swapping the Stewart Island aircraft?

Also on 9 September 1975 Britten Norman Islander ZK-MCD was photographed at Christchurch. This aircraft had arrived into the country earlier in the year
