	Registered in NZ on 4-11-2004 as ZK-BAR to John Copland using the c/n of 1123. This apparently is not its true c/n but probably a corruption of 445/T.123 which was applied to A17-401 which is thought to be the original identity of this aircraft when it was constructed for the Royal Australian Air Force. Its history is a bit obscure but VH-AKF is linked to this airframe from March 1947 until a crash at Sale, Victoria on 6-1-1950. Then from 8-10-1958 VH-AHB appeared, built from many parts including VH-AKF. VH-AHB crashed at Kerang in Victoria on 10-10-1964 and seems to have disappeared for forty years to pop up as ZK-BAR. Sadly it crashed and was burnt out not long after take off from Ashburton on 2-12-2006 claiming the life of its owner and his passenger. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=58499
