EDITORS COMMENTS
Avro 626 Prefect NZ204 soars through the clear blue sky, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. This iconic aircraft, manufactured by the Avro Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom, served the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) with distinction from 1953 to 1971. The Avro 626 Prefect was a versatile twin-engine transport plane, capable of carrying up to 21 passengers or 4,500 pounds (2,041 kilograms) of cargo. NZ204, in particular, played a significant role in the RNZAF's operations. It was used for various tasks, including passenger transport, mail delivery, and even medical evacuation. Its distinctive red and white livery with the RNZAF roundel proudly displayed on the fuselage made it a familiar sight across New Zealand's skies. The Avro 626 Prefect was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk. 312 engines, which provided a top speed of 235 miles per hour (378 kilometers per hour) and a range of 1,150 miles (1,850 kilometers). Its robust design and reliable performance made it a popular choice among RNZAF pilots and crew. This photograph captures the Avro 626 Prefect NZ204 in its prime, showcasing the elegance and power of this remarkable aircraft. The clear, sunny day and the vast expanse of the sky serve as a fitting backdrop for this historic moment in New Zealand aviation history.
