Photo Comment

Painted in the markings it wore in 1935 as the first a/c in New Zealand licensed to carry passengers. After a long life there, it was brought to the U.S. circa 1974. In this slide it does not have a FAA registration number displayed on it. It was registered as N83DH in 1975. In 1984 it was exported to the U.K. as G-ADHA. Exported back to N.Z. in 1997 as ZK-ADI, its original reg. in 1935. Currently located at the Croyden Aviation Heritage Center.
