A short run downsouth.

A new paint scheme, and evidently a change of sponsor, for Aerospatiale AS 350BA ZK-HGH (c/n 1443) of Garden City Helicopters Ltd. Both views are at the Christchurch Garden City Helicopter base. Above on 04-07-2013 - and below on 05-06-2013.

Down at Ashburton the Ian Whitmore Cessna 177B ZK-DIH (c/n 17701900) had just refuelled before heading back to its base near Lake Brunner.

An earlier blog on DIH can be seen at http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/cardinal-zk-dih.html

Outside the AVTEK hangar at Timaru on 05-04-2013 was the Piper PA-31-350 (c/n 7752004) ZK-KVW of Mainland Air Services 2010 Ltd - up from Dunedin. Prop less this side and engine less on the other.
