Over Night Mail Run (leg 1)

[Q300]

HS.748 (ZK-EME) contracted to NZ post runing the over night mail,
Leg one from Wellington to Christchurch

Climbing out of NZWN

Watching the sun set

Had a run in with some traffic

Watched this over taking manouvre on the downwind leg into NZCH, the boeing MD80 (no 2 to land) over took the mooney (no 1 to land) and toched down before him and ATC made the mooney go around

And parked up at NZCH being unloaded and taking a qwick break to post these pics and grab a snack before heading on to Dunedin for the second leg.


More to come.

Nice aircraft, I remember seeing the 'Parcel Force' trucks all over the UK when I lived there.
