Raven II ZK-HKK /4

 Noted on the grass outside the GCH Aviation Ltd.'s facility at Christchurch International today was the Robinson R44 Raven II ZK-HKK4 c/n 13486.
Note the floatation gear on the skids.
Built in 2013 and registered in Australia as VH-HCL4 on 16-10-2013 to Heliflite Pty Ltd, the Australian Robinson agents - with a move to New Zealand it became ZK-HPO5 on 02-07-2014 with John Smith of Warkworth. Four years later in July of 2018 it was acquired by Kaikoura Helicopters Ltd who re-registered it as ZK-HKK4 on 27-08-2018.
Kaikoura Helicopters Ltd was taken over by GCH Aviation Ltd in about August of 2019.
It remains registered to Kaikoura Helicopters and is operated by GCH Aviation Ltd.
