1948 De Havilland Beaver Shares

$NZD$6,750

This rare opportunity offers a flight share in a remarkable 1948 De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver, affectionately known as “The Right to Fly.” More than just an aircraft, this Beaver represents a genuine piece of aviation and Antarctic exploration history. ZK-CHH is believed to be one of only two surviving RNZAF Antarctic-support Beavers connected to Operation Deep Freeze and the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of the 1950s.

Imported into New Zealand in 1994 and restored into its striking high-visibility Antarctic orange RNZAF tribute scheme, this Beaver continues to fly regularly and is maintained in operational condition. Powered by the legendary Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine, the aircraft combines historic significance with the unmistakable presence and capability that have made the Beaver one of the most respected utility aircraft ever built.
