Photo Comment

Painted to represent the original VH-TQN which flew with TAA from 1968 to 1985, this is actually a 1985-build F27 first owned by Midstate Airlines as N244MA, later sold via Fokker to NEPC as VT-NEH. Bought by Airwork NZ in 1998 to fly for New Zealand Post as ZK-POH and acquired by HARS in 2018. Seen here part way through painting in period TAA colours, completed in early 2024
