Four of their helicopters are currently in the large new Museum hangar at Ashburton.
Photo above and below is Hughes 269A c/n 111-0029 carries the NZHHM title on its tail boom.
AFAIK this airframe has no ZK connection having been N8716F and G-SHKK before coming here.
Pic below is Hughes 269C ZK-HHY1 c/n 44-0293 which was an April 1974 production helicopter and spent all its working life in NZ. It was cancelled on 18-12-1989 following a crash at Pollack Creek (Ross) on 16-03-1987.
It has actually been at the Ashburton Aviation Museum for some years.
thanks
