The PAC750 is a weird looking aircraft type. The New Zealand built aircraft made its first flight in 2001 and up to date (2019) it is still in production. Some 200 have been built so far. The P-750 has a relatively high power-to-weight ratio, so its an ideal airframe for paradrops, but also for humanitarian operations in hot environments. This aircraft has small "NatureLink" titles below the tail.

Ex Pratt and Whitney test aircraft, just arrived in South Africa to start a new carriere.

This 1942 R4D-1 spent her first four years with the USN then took up a corporate transport role with a series of different owners, ending up in South Africa from 1990. Arrived at Dunsfold 27 Jan 2006 and was intended to be going on to a new career in Iceland but held up with bureaucratic problems. It was eventually flown to New Zealand in late 2012, as N451ZS.
