Yep, that would be before the incident. Aircraft is a Britten-Norman Trislander.
This is the 'before' shot...

That is an abomination!
Second only in ugliness to another of Britain's finest - the Bristol Brabazon! |

It departed from and returned to NZGB ... not a strip I'd want to make an emergency landing on. The seal is only 9 metres wide.

Judging by the surroundings, it's not exactly a metropolis and @ 9 meters for a Trislander, how does that compare to YSSY 34L/16R for a 3fatty, er, I mean 380?

Sydney's 34L/16R is 3,962 metres X 45 metres.

The Blackburn Beverley gets my vote, followed closely by the Shorts Skyvan (the Flying Block of Flats).
On a more serious note, how fortunate were the pilot and passengers in the Trislander that they survived what must have been such a terrifying ordeal.
