ZK-CAH (c/n 1004) was first registered to A Myers of Palmerston North on 4/5/61 and then transferred to Aviation Sales and Service Ltd and then Aerocraft (NZ) Ltd, all of Palmerston North, so I guess it may also have been built by Aerocraft. It was then hired to the South Canterbury Aero Club and was owned by a P Slater
It crashed at Arohena on 8/10/69 and the registration was cancelled on 22/1/71. However ZK-CAH was re-registered on 25/2/72 after having been rebuilt by Robbie Gentry (who also built ZK-CAE), with a new c/n of AACA /10-R. Robbie sold it to Bernie Webb of Wellington on 1/12/72 who in turn sold it to Cliff Adams of Masterton.
Written off 17/4/82: Engine failure over rugged terrain in the Putara Valley, near Eketahuna. Aircraft destroyed when overturned in forced landing.Pilot C B Adams, injured. ZK-CAH was never rebuilt. It was cancelled on 2/2/94.
