DC-8 Arrives In Auckland

DC8-52 ZK-NZA touches down at a brand new Auckland International Airport on it's delivery flight on July 20th 1965. This aircraft operated the first jet service to Sydney from the new airport in November of that year. DC8-52 ZK-NZC which we are seeking to recover from Brazil is the sister ship of NZA and one of the original order of three that started the jet age in New Zealand. Courtesy British Pathe
