The first aircraft to be operated by Robertson Air Service was Tiger Moth ZK-APV, caught here in a low sun at Mangere by Ken Meehan. The company still uses the yellow and black chequerboard pattern on the tails of its aircraft. The tail and nose of ZK-APV are preserved as 'trophies' on the walls of Robertson's base at Hamilton.

When landing at Bluff Station in an isolated part of the Kaikoura Ranges, Marlborough AC Fox Moth 'APT bent its prop. The engine was removed and taken to Blenheim for repair and the aircraft tied down - only to be wrecked one night in a gale. The remains were taken to the coast by horse and the aircraft was eventually rebuilt - an object lesson in perseverance!
