Andrew Gillatt of Tasman Helicopters Above and Beyond Ltd has kindly provided these shots of the Eurocopter EC 130 B4 ZK-IEC (c/n 4951) taken on 10-02-2001, before its visit to the paint shop. It was imported to replace the earlier EC 130 B4 ZK-HEC3 (c/n 3721).
However when the buyer of ZK-HEC spied the new ZK-IEC he made an offer for that instead. So ZK-IEC was sold and cancelled from the NZ register on 14-07-2011 to become P4-SDL.

As P4-SDL the Eurocopter has made it's way across the Tasman by ship to Brisbane and has since flown north with it flying in the Cairns area 18 August.
