Its mine Marty ..its back in Tauranga ready for my trip to Europe

.............actually it might be here for cabin work as Air New Zealand (NZCH) is now a major out fitter of BBJ cabins

I wonder if you were one of the guys standing along the fenceline on Saturday afternoon when I flew out in a 733 for Auckland?

Mike Condon has it covered, as usual... a "maintenance visit with Altitude Aviation", see:
http://mrcaviation.blogspot.com/2010/09/bbj-departs.html

Is registered to "Orient Global", a Singapore based investment organisation founded by NZer Richard Chandler.

Looks like (courtesy of Mike, again) it was also here in 2009...
