The Ebay caption is wrong.

A19-11 is actually an RAAF aircraft. I do not think the Kiwi's ever operated the type.

Interesting story. Wonder what happened to them.

 

[Snautzer01]

Me too. Cant be a night in the brink.

A severe prison term I would think. Not only stealing His Majesty's aircraft, and wrecking it (!), but also incorrect runway use, ignoring airfield SOPs, unqualified use of equipment etc etc ....... and causing the crash crews to deploy and use expensive fire suppressant !
