It spends most of its time in Greymouth! When I visited in July it was there all Tuesday! I spoke to the Aeroclub manager there and he commented that the airline are seemingly finding it hard to get passengers on their services and they were contemplating a Christchurch - Greymouth perhaps instead of Wellington. Air West Coast pulled out of the Greymouth - Westport - Wellington run earlier this year as they beleived it was to expensive to make the stop in Westport.

Well if so, ZK-POF has never operated for Origin Pacific. It came to NZ and worked in the NZ post fleet before it was transfered into the airwork fleet. The livery looks very much like a deritive of the origin pacific livery though doesnt it! The NZ CAA website always helps me with aircraft rego details! By “Origins” you mean Origin Pacific?

I have seen POF before myself, but not that often. Well, the point is I rarely get out there during the week. I have seen POF before myself, but not that often.

But some of these aircraft are more frequent visitors than you may think... ZK-VIR operates a daily scheduled service into/out of Wellington so can be seen every week, Monday to Friday at least. ZK-POF is a little rarer, but does seem to pop in fairly frequently. I've caught it there mid to late afternoon during the week fairly often. NIce pics.
