Oops. The signwriter reversed the stencils on the nose, making the code 30 instead of 03. Crashed into Waitemata Harbour after engine failure November 30, 1973. Salvaged but then written off. The location of this photo is not known, except that it is in the Pacific Ocean somewhere off New Zealand. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand
