The burnt-out wreckage of ZK-CZQ was discovered by firefighters extinguishing a large scrub fire. The pilot and passenger had sustained fatal injuries. There were no witnesses to the accident but the available evidence suggested that, during a turn at low level in the course of an attempted precautionary landing, the left wingtip struck the ground and the aircraft cartwheeled on to its nose. No conclusive reason for a precautionary landing could be established. The possibility of an in-flight fire could not be discounted.

The aircraft, number 4 in a formation "bomb burst" manoeuvre, collided with number 3 aircraft in the formation. After the collision the number 4 aircraft dived straight into the ground while the pilot of number 3 was able to make an emergency landing. The pilot of number 4 aircraft was killed in the accident.

The aircraft departed from New Plymouth to Hamilton at 1752 hours. Nothing was heard from the aircraft after the pilot acknowledged his take-off clearance. A search aircraft located the pilot's body off the coast of Urenui next day. The aircraft was not found.

Aircraft was 1 of 4 assembled to drop parachutists who were attempting to establish an Australasian record parachute stack. Pilot commenced take-off run and deliberately held the tail down to improve the aircraft's rudder control. After traveling 100 yards the aircraft veered off the runway. Shortly after becoming airborne it crossed a post and wire fence and clipped some toi toi grass on the far side of the fence. Aircraft damaged and occupants injured in attempted forced landing.

Following a high reconnaissance, the pilot positioned the helicopter on final approach into the 25-30 north-westerly wind. Tailwind gust experienced at 50 feet, when the aircraft began to sink. Pilot initiated an overshoot during which the helicopter descended 5-10 feet above the landing site and commenced a right turn towards lower ground. Aircraft continued to descend and struck some trees before coming to rest on its right hand side.

After take-off the subsequent climb to 200 feet seemed sluggish with a low airspeed, although the engine rpm was normal. Pilot started turning left (back to the aerodrome) as the aircraft started to lose height and airspeed. Engine normal. At 100 feet, wing dropped and aircraft descended out of control to collide with the ground.

In the course of a go-around after touchdown, the aircraft struck a fence and a water filled bath tub at the end of the strip. Fearing airframe damage the pilot abandoned the go-around and landed the aircraft straight ahead on its remaining undercarriage leg.

After the float equipped aircraft touched down earlier than the pilot had anticipated, it nosed over and sank.

The two aircraft were departing from the Milford Sound area for Queenstown when a collision occurred. ZK-DAX was landed safely but ZK-DQF fell into the Sound. The occupants of ZK-DQF were killed in the accident.

The helicopter's engine was heard misfiring and subsequently the aircraft was seen descending rapidly. A plume of smoke indicated that an accident had occurred. The pilot was assisted from the burning wreckage but succumbed to his injuries later in the day.

At the normal lift-off point, the pilot heard a 'bang' and felt the aircraft wobble. On checking the ski positions he saw that the left ski was hanging about 40ø out of alignment and it was evident that the undercarriage leg had fractured, the wheel/ski assembly being retained largely by the front and rear cable/bungee installation.
