EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Fletcher FU-24 ZK-BIO 6 (msn 42) of Robertson Air Services Ltd, at Te Kuiti, NZ, on a crisp December day in 1961. The sleek aeroplane stands proudly on the tarmac, ready to take flight and soar through the skies.
Originally built as a standard Fletcher FU-24 model, this aircraft was later converted to the upgraded FU-24-950M standard in November 1980. This modification enhanced its performance and capabilities, making it an even more formidable presence in the air.
Tragically, this once-mighty aircraft met its untimely end when it crashed in June 1982. Despite its ultimate fate, this photo serves as a poignant reminder of its glory days and the skilled pilots who once navigated it through the clouds.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has preserved this snapshot of aviation history for future generations to admire and reflect upon. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when planes like the Fletcher FU-24 ruled the skies with grace and power.
As we gaze upon this stunning photograph, we are reminded of the beauty and wonder of flight – an enduring symbol of human ingenuity and ambition that continues to inspire us today.
