That FO looks suspiciously like my old instructor, and it could well be because he's an FO with Air Nelson based in Nelson.

It's a Chathams Metro, it's been up in Tonga until recently.

My F/O I had today was flying the Cheyenne up until a few weeks ago. It goes quick but is a little lacking in range so any Trans Tasman trip is via Lord Howe Island

ZK-XVL is operated out of Ardmore by Auckland Jet Charter, otherwise known as Rural Aviation/Heli Harvest. Its been around for a few years now. Arrived into Nelson Saturday from Ardmore and New Plymouth then departed for Westport and back to Ardmore. Often used on target towing duties for the Navy!
Actually, I've just found this indicating its been around for over a decade now:

As for Sir Peter, he is currently jet-less:

Thanks saw MVA this afternoon from work, always to busy to take photos!

if you look up 109 bolt road, Nelson that is where I work from so you can actually see aircraft taxiing off and onto runway 20 if you are looking at the right time! - Its great too because I get to know if there is any unusual aircraft operating, seeing as I work from 6AM to 5pm every weekday!
