Hey Marty. Did you know you can download a text file with the current CAA aircraft register from here...
https://www.caa.govt.nz/script/aircraft-register-query/

Grab the file labelled AircraftRegisterExport.zip and unzip it an open the *.tab file in Excel or something similar

Naki, years ago I flew with a friend in one of these. It was based at Wigram.(must be 20+ years ago now)
I remember him saying there were only a couple in the country at that time. Really nice aircraft ....don't recall the rego, but it was green and white with full leather interior.
Those extra horses make it a totally different "Cherokee" ...wish I knew where it was now.

Underrated aircraft ....should be more in the country considering how many 182s (Cessna's equivalent) there are here

Wonder if it is this one....bloody nice looking one if it is
