This Metro was originally delivered to BAT-Air Flugdienst in March 1983 and almost immediately leased to Nurnberger Flugdienst (becoming NFD - Nurnberger Flugdienst in March 1989). It was bought by Childflight (a childrens air ambulance provider in New Zealand) as ZK-POA in November 1990 but was written off in May 2005 after crashing due to an explosion on board.
