 Meanwhile down country today (Friday 14th) the Blue Bus caught the Garden City Helicopters Kawasaki BK117-B2 ZK-HJC3 (c/n 1061) lifting off and about to depart Christchurch for points west (another Ski Field pick up).

In the background is B-2 ZK-HGU5 which was finally listed to Garden City last Monday having been with them since earlier in the year.

 Out at Rangiora the Europa ZK-SBZ (c/n 240) was out in the bitter elements.

And the CRAC Rans S-6 "Oscar Rabbit" was thrashing the circuit.
