That Jetstream variant is the better , least seems the more typical of the J-31 , the cargo panier dose make it purposeful .

I'm guessing from the JSH pics that all that fog eventually lifted yesterday then? When I was on approach at 9.30am, it was a solid 8/8's sitting about 600ft AGL and even the inbound ATR's were diverting to Tauranga!

What type of camera and lens are you using? these pics are incredible in terms of colour and detail

I saw the J31 fly into Nelson the other day.

heading back to New Guinea i would guess , the type has really growing up since its origins but would be one hell of a flight back to PNG .

I'm guessing it might be it's first ever trip overseas if it had a ZK reg on the side (which no longer is on the CAA database as of today), although I've seen that particular machine around Hamilton for about 4 months at least. With the long range tanks I know they can go Hamilton - Brizzy direct.

Be an exciting trip , maybe a Norfolk stopoff for a breather - but if tanked for that , guess it would be direct .
