Passenger Carriers from Different Generations

DH89B Dragon Rapide ZK-AKU was outside at Ardmore 08Oct, an aircraft I haven't seen for a number of years now. Is it still an Ardmore resident? It was once a proud airliner with NAC from 1949 until 1963 before moving to private hands.

Cessna 207 ZK-MDZ (ex ZK-SAL) is employed on scenic flight activities and I suspect sub leased from its operate flighthauraki as and when required. It was at Ardmore today as well undergoing some TLC. The Cessna 207 numbers have dwindled to just 8 units in the country now with only ZK-MDZ and ZK-SEU North Island residents.
