This aircraft was built to an order from Virgin Blue and first flew on 20 Feb 2004. It was registered VH-VOR on 17 March that year. After just over a year and a half it was transferred to VB subsidiary Pacific Blue and re-registered ZK-PBF on 17 Oct 2005. As you can see it is currently operating in Polynesian Blue titles, another subsidiary of VB.

Christchurch Tower is built on to the roof of the domestic terminal - one of the few terminals to still have a viewing deck. On a clear day, the Controllers have a lovely view of snow-capped mountains in distance. Nice!

By the time I took this photo in 2008, Wigram Tower was closed but the aerodrome itself, once home to the RNZAF's Central Flying School, was still active. Unfortunately the aerodrome closed to all aircraft movements the following year.

Imported to NZ in 1953 through British Aircraft Ltd for Auster Air Services of Timaru and registered ZK-BBY. In June 1958 it was involved in a landing accident and was withdrawn from use. It was re-built (probably with bits from other Austers) as ZK-BWH and registered to Aerotech of Timaru. Presently on display in the MOTAT Museum in Auckland with the fictitious RNZAF serial NZ1708.

Ex RNZAF NZ5911, ZK-EPG seen here a few months after it was ferried into Ardmore by Dwen Airmotive. The plan was to resell it and seven other Bristols. Some were flown out to new owners but not -EPG, which lingered at Ardmore until acquired by the Bristol Museum, Filton, in 2017. It will be dismantled and shipped back to the UK. Peter Ricketts photo
