The aircraft in green has been like that for quite a while.
It was the last to come out of the hangar so it never got done in white and its rego is NZ6215

Yip Roger does fly the 27 was also the last pilot to convert onto the A4, come to think of it he lives next door

The Huey at WB is the instructional airframe they had in the hangar that is now full of Seasprites.
