Wellington Photos from Friday the 21st.

 Below we have a selection of photographs taken by Allister Jenks at Wellington Airport last Friday the 21st of March.

Listed to Search And Rescue Services Ltd and branded as the Westpac Rescue for Waikato and King Country is the Kawasaki BK117 B2 ZK-IRU c/n 1101.

Of 1995 vintage and ex Japan as JA6743 it served time in Australia as VH-BKS6 from May of 2011.

It was imported into NZ in November 2012 for its current owner.

It seems to have spent some time in Wellington - perhaps standing in for Wellingtons ZK-HLF2.
