Another Aerial survey aircraft that was seen lurking around the Christchurch area last week was the Cessna 402B ZK-PVC (c/n 402B-0559). This aircraft arrived in NZ in March of 1974 and became ZK-DSG for Capital Air Services Ltd (Commercial arm of the Wellington Aero Club). After a bunch of other operators it was purchased by N.Z.Aerial Mapping Ltd of Hasting on 13-05-1999 and re-registered as ZK-PVC on 11-07-2000.
