Here are a few shots I took this evening.
A few helicopters turned up as there is a small chance of a frost in the morning and the new Sounds Air Caravan was on the field, and it sure is a good looking example.

Awesome as always Gavin! I've often talked to TZR when it flies into Hamilton on the odd occasion. Its such a great example of one of the few 208's in NZ. If I win the $20million on Powerball on Saturday I'll probably buy one wink.gif

TZR is a great looking aircraft, I've seen it at Ardmore a few times, although not recently.

Great photos Gavin - TZR was Richard Izard's Caravan (which has very nice leather seating) from Springhill - he has swapped it with Sounds Air's Airvan

I agree, its a great colour scheme.
The aircraft only has 700 hours on the clock but that will grow quickly from here on in.
