In 1958 TEAL (Tasman Empire Airways) ordered three Lockheed Electra’s. This was the second of that initial order. The aircraft was delivered in late December 1959 with it’s first revenue service in following January. It remained with the airline until May 1972 when it was sold in the USA. It had a varied career in North America including time with the famous Buffalo Airways. It has been targeted by the “Bring Our Birds Home” organisation to return it to New Zealand as a feature aircraft in their proposed museum. The model is depicted in the original livery before the airline changed it’s name to Air New Zealand.

Meticulously crafted to capture every intricate detail of the real aircraft, this high quality pre-assembled diecast (metal) model produced by InFlight 200 includes detachable landing gear with rubber tyres, fixed communication antennas and display stand.

Whether displayed on a shelf or used for diorama purposes, this diecast model aircraft is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or collector.
