Quoted By:
Top dresser plane around Taranaki NZ.
Story went something like..
> Last run of the day on some far out paddocks
> something fucks up mechanically
> engine goes back to idle
> Pilot tries to crash land in a clearing , Doesn't go well
> Hits a Rimu or some other big solid tree as it crashes through the scrub
> Pilot's head smashes into the dashboard or whatever you call it in a plane
> He tries to right down some kind of note to his wife I guess (SAR found a note, I don't know if it was readable )
> He's long dead by the time anyone got to the plane
It must have taken a while , Story was told to me by the land owner, it was back in the 60s or 70s
