EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the de Havilland DH.90 Dragonfly ZK-AFB in all its glory, taken at Nelson, NZ on 6 February 1961. The sleek lines of this aircraft are a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when flying was still considered a luxury and adventure.
Tragically, just one year after this photo was taken, the ZK-AFB disappeared without a trace during a flight from Christchurch to Milford Sound on 12 February 1962. The mystery surrounding its disappearance only adds to the allure of this vintage aircraft.
The de Havilland DH.90 Dragonfly was known for its speed and agility, making it a popular choice among pilots during its time in service. Its loss was deeply felt by those who knew and loved this beautiful plane.
As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the bravery and skill of early aviators who took to the skies in machines like the ZK-AFB. May it forever soar in our memories as a symbol of innovation and daring in the world of aviation.
