Not sure whether they are for NZ use?

JetSpotters quotes the two Saabs to be heading back to Australia after ZK registration, alongside much of the Vincent fleet these days.

Having flown on a QantasLink Dash 8 Q-400 just recently, I can say it was a very very comfortable aircraft to fly on! Im quite skinny, but tall- the legroom was much better than a 737-300/400. However, the seat wasn't all that wide; possibly troublesome for a larger person. Sitting on the 2nd back row, it seemed very long, and its hard to imagine a stretched version- however I can certainly see a stretched version being used in the future on major trunk routes like Wellington-Auckland etc.
