Ive been doing a little digging around re, 337's operating in NZ. I know Air Chathams had a couple back in the 80's (TAI & TSH) the later was a pressurized aircraft i think...also DFT worked with Taupo Air Services, and DRO with Rex.....BUT....Im sure i have seen, many moons ago another one in Helicopter Line colours paked at Glenntanner, and spotted again at Milford.....as i said many years ago.

Any idea what the rego was and where it might be now.....even i pic, and i might try a repaint .....try being the operative word....

FZA is parked in the back of a hangar at Ardmore, doubt it will ever fly again but would be nice to be proved wrong!
