They managed to confuse everybody by being a PA31P. At least the herald got the manufacturer correct and the type designator was so close.

Yep you are right Pacblue.

It was Air WANGANUI's (no H) Mojave on an air ambulance flight.

Received a warning light so diverted to PN did circled and did a touch and go before landing woth no incident.

All seems OK
