Apparently, ZK-AMY was not actually heading for Wellington, but had an issue with an engine, and so diverted here, along with the requisite "fuss" accorded to any aircraft reporting an in-flight problem.
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Southern DC3 at Wellington
Here are some pictures of the Southern DC3 Dakota [or C47 for my American viewers] parked up at Wellington just outside of the Aero Club. ZK-AMY has [like any DC3] a long history, more details of which are available on the Southern DC3 Trust website.

Nice pics! She looks like a very workmanlike plane. No frills, no warbird paint job, just the bare minimum.
Yeah, sure is a nice looking plane :-)
