Yes - although they towed ZK-PBF then ZK-OJD onto Stand 2 after PB HZL to BNE Departed / Fueled/ Pax up etc - ZK-OJM Departed soon after SJE not sure if the Air NZ flts had any pax onboard but the Pac Blue Flight were both full.

Look at that pretty Boeing , much better looking than a Arbust , the red airport security wagon , same they have here in CHCH , i do wonder if they break the rules in Ham , no smoking signage all over the place , the little red wagon stops and click 'fag ' in mouth puffin away

Ian, from memory BQV was a '57 or '58 model, and I think it's always carried the same registration.

[Ian Warren]

the aircraft had a 50 th birthday few years back , 53 it would be , 1957-58 would be smack on the nose

You obviously had a chance to fly her?
