Thought I saw a Fokker Friendship with a koru on the tail parked up outside Canterbury Aero Club tonight...?
Didn't have a camera handy and wouldn't have been able to get close after hours.

It wasn't one of the NZ Post F-27s? At least one of them has the Post logo on the tail which is similar to a Koru.

I know there's one parked at NZCH close by the Westpac Helicopter center, it may have been moved over to the Aero Club.

Peppermint, Ive seen it too....its all white , and as you said, with the Koru. I saw it in the enginering training hanger.The other airframe is down by the old engine test cell, and appears to being used as a traing aid for painters.
