The title of this post will have meaning to Black Adder fans (hint: series 2) but refers (tenuously) to the fact that yesterday I caught 3 different Airbus A320 colour schemes at Wellington.

I was in town about 14:15 and at a loose end, so thought I’d pop out to the airport and catch the 14:45 Jetstar arrival. Ahem!

So first in was this Star Alliance liveried Air New Zealand aircraft, ZK-OJH.

Next was a standard liveried Air New Zealand bird, ZK-OJG. Is it just me, or is it reasonably common to see fleet aircraft arrive in alphabetical order (reverse in this case)?

And finally, an improvement on last time at a mere 26 minutes late, VH-VQB puts in an appearance for Jetstar.

“And that one?” That’d be this one. Not an Airbus, I grant you, but interesting nonetheless. Belonging to The Wellington Helicopter Company (which I’d never heard of before) is Robinson R44 ‘Clipper II’ ZK-IDO. I wonder how often this gets hired for weddings.
