Hughes 369HS ZK-HQL3 (c/n 1220438S) as seen landing at Heli Maintenance at Christchurch on December the 19th last year.
As you can tell, it is a late 1972 built machine.
It came onto the NZ register on 10-07-2012 for Laurie Prouting of Station Air Ltd at Mayfield, transferring to Mesopotamia Station from 11-09-2018.
It carries the small 'Station Air Ltd ' decal on the bottom of the door.

It has now found a new home with Mick Gray out of Kaikoura.
Mick also lists the Robinson R22 Beta ZK-IMA and the R44 Raven II ZK-HCY3.

Yo there bob.
ReplyDeleteNot so much from the photo but from the c/n of 1220438S.
First two numbers tell the month. So 12 = December.
Third number is the last number of the year. So 2 = 1972 (in this case).
The 0438S tell us it is the 438th 'S' model.
Cheers.
Ah! Thank you!!
