Dutch arrival.

Our latest Gumbal Cabri G2 arrived and was unpacked at Pacific Aircraft Ltd at Christchurch International Airport yesterday (23-12-2013) afternoon as captured above by Bargeld01.
As you can see it carries the Netherlands markings of PH-WTW.
This makes it c/n 1003, the third example to fly. It did so under the Helicopter Guimbal French test registration of F-WWHG before becoming F-GXRU with Ixair Flying School in September of 2008.
 
Below we have a couple of earlier shots of her.
First is as F-GXRU in its Ixair scheme and comes from Jacky Billaud via JETPHOTO.NET

In September of 2010 it went to Helicon and was re-registered as PH-WTW.
In its early Dutch markings. Pic from Erwin Hassel and was shot at Lelystad on 21-11-2010.
