A familiar couple from GCH Aviation Ltd at Christchurch

I swung into GCH yesterday at Christchurch International and caught these two old familiar helicopters parked out.

The Kawasaki BK117-B2 ZK-HJC3 c/n 1061spent its first five and a half years in Japan as JA6626 and I believe it had only 25 hours airframe time when it came to NZ in 1996.
It has been with Garden City Helicopter Ltd / GCH Aviation Ltd since 23-04-1996.

See HERE for earlier posts on HJC.
 
Eurocopter EC 130 B4 ZK-IWS is c/n 4041 and was registered in NZ, following some 10 years in Canada, on 22-02-2016 and joined GCH Aviation Ltd on 20-05-2020.
