Far less recognisable as a Cessna 180 is ZK-BNE of Manawatu Aerial Topdressing Co. It was force-landed near Utuwai in a cul-de-sac valley, finishing up amongst the boulders on the stream bed on 21.4.66. The pilot was very lucky to survive the incident.

The Lincoln Sports ZK-BMV in its pre-war unregistered form. At that time it was powered by a three-cylinder radial engine designed by the builder A.Radford.
ZK_BMV regd 20.7.59. The engine that is shown in the photograph is a flat twin rather than a three-cylinder radial. Possibly Radford modified a 3 cylinder example such as the Anzani, the smaller engine accounting for some of the airframe modifications such as the shorter undercarriage. We wonder how many changes from the plans were made originally and how many came during the post-39 rebuild.
