Spotted (no picky sorry) a large (ish) twin circling the city this afternoon.
Couldn't ID it , so popped onto flightradar , and it turned out to be an Oz registered Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II .... and do you think i can recall the rego <_<

It had a lovely sound , just wondered if anyone got a pic ?

Left Nelson 10.50 am yesterday flew a pattern at 10,000ft from just southwest of Greendale north to just West of Ashley in approx 1.5km strips to the East finishing just to the west of NZCH then landed just after 3pm I would say it was doing aerial photography by the look of the pattern it was flying
I didn't check it today but guess it would have been finishing its pattern out to the coast and Banks Peninsular
