the Aircraft Accident: DC. 10 ZK-NZP Flight 901

At 8:20 am on 28 November 1979, Flight TE901 left Auckland Airport

On board were 237 passengers and 20 crew, looking forward to the 11 hour return sightseeing flight to Antarctica

At 12:49 pm the deck altitude device began to blare a warning but there was no time for Captain Thomas James 'Jim' Collins to save the situation from disaster

Six seconds later Flight 901 hit the side of Mount Erebus and disintegrated

The Mount Erebus disaster was New Zealand's biggest single tragedy, with one more death than in the 1931 Napier Earthquake

257 people died (237 passengers and 20 crew) - 200 New Zealanders, 24 Japanese, 22 Americans, 6 British, 2 Canadians, 1 Australian, 1 French, 1 Swiss

... 213 victims were eventually identified ...

On 22 February 1980 a burial service was held for the 44 unidentified victims

A wooden cross was erected on the mountain above Scott Base to commemorate the accident. It was replaced in 1986 with an aluminium cross after the original was eroded by low temperatures, wind and moisture

The memorial for the 16 passengers who were unidentifiable and the 28 whose bodies were never found is at Waikumete Cemetery in Glen Eden, Auckland. Beside the memorial is a Japanese cherry tree, planted as a memorial to the 24 Japanese passengers who died

A memorial to the crew members of Flight 901 is located adjacent to Auckland Airport on Tom Pearce Drive at the eastern end of the airport zone

In January 2010 a 26kg sculpted koru containing letters written by the loved ones of those who died was placed next to the Antarctic cross.
It was originally to have been placed at the site by six relatives of the victims on the 30th anniversary of the crash, 28 November 2009, but this was delayed for two months due to bad weather.

It is planned for a second koru capsule, mirroring the first capsule, to be placed at the cross in 2011

The bride, who was given away by her father, was dressed in a handsome crepe de chine gown trimmed with lace and chiffon, and wore the usual wreath and veil. She was attended by her sister, Miss M. (Mina Barbara) Garden, as bridesmaid, and by her little twin sisters (Mary Ann & Agnes Grant Garden) as flower girls, and prettily dressed in white muslin, and carrying handsome bouquets. Mr J. Unsworth was best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev J. R. Shore. After partaking of breakfast the newly married pair left by the mail train en route for Wellington, where the honeymoon will be spent. The presents were numerous and valuable, the bride receiving a handsome gold brooch, and the bridesmaid a gold bangle, from the groom. In the evening, Mr and Mrs Garden entertained a large gathering of friends, and a most enjoyable time was spent, the party breaking up with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" at about 1 a.m.

NOTES
4 April 1917 - OBITUARY of John Cocker at NORMANBY
... Another old settler in the person of Mr John Cocker passed away at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr F. Bischoff, ot Turuturu road, on Saturday, after a long illness. Mr Cocker was born in Manchester, England, and for some years followed farming pursuits there, but as the result of an illness was advised to come out to New Zealand. He arrived in the Dominion in June, 1886 (on the Doric), when, on the the advice of an old friend, Mr Fitton, he settled for a time at Manaia. Some time afterwards he was the first settler to take up land at Ararata where he resided for about six years. When he retired from active business he settled at Normanby, where he has resided practically since. Mr Cocker took considerable interest in local matters, and was for a number of years a valued member of the Town Board; indeed, his resignation as a member was only accepted at the last meeting.
Mr Cocker was a farmer of the old school, and by his integrity and straightforwardness in all business transactions he made many friends in the district. As a staunch member of the Methodist Church he will be much missed; it was largely owing to his generosity that the Normanby Church was built a few years ago. Mr Cocker is survived by his wife and two sons and one daughter; namely, Mr Alfred Cocker, of Normanby, and Mr John Cocker of Omona, and Mrs F. Bischoff, of Turuturu road, for whom much sympathy is felt by their numerous friends.
The funeral took place on Tuesday (Old Plot 33, Row J at Waihi Burial Old Lawn). Pall-bearers were Messrs Antrobus, Dawson, Ballantyne, and Dickson, and the representative gathering testified to the respect in which he was held. Rev Mr Blamires conducted the burial service

* thank you to Grannab's comment below on 20 May 2016 . Rita Cresendrew Bowring was named after her grandmother. The Cresendrew is in fact Cassandra. Seems people misheard the name a guessed at the spelling
* thank you to ThomasWonderful's comment below on 11 Feb 2023 . Rita Bowring was registered at birth as Rita Cassandra Bowring. For some reason Rita absolutely hated that name and so it is believed that at some stage she had the name legally changed to Cressandrew. The fact is that both names were heard, Cassandra in the earlier years of her life and then in the later years of her life according to her preference, Cressandrew. Not many people know that she actually changed the name.
