ZK-BTF, an agricultural aircraft, was used as a glider tug by the Wigram Aviation Sports Club ( founded in Feb. 1961 ), but it is doubtful that they were operating the aircraft on this occasion. In 1962 BTF was most probably being operated by Southland Aerial Topdressing Ltd and was being used in an agricultural role when it crashed at Tokanui on 6/4/62.
Pilot: Ivar C Hagan.
