Remember flying film crews up from Hokitika for Westland Flying Service the next day, this photo was probably a bit latter as the bow was on a sandy spit first.

Patrick Pascoe The bow was in the sand at low tide.A lot of the sand washed away a couple of weeks after it was wrecked.

Flag Mckenzie Thanks yes it was hard to see interlay we flew straight past as it was tucked in behind the wee bluff that stuck out..

We used to find Saki bottles washed up on the Cobden beach.
