PH-FHF (cn 10105) A historical moment as this first production F27 passes the same gate thru which she left 47 years ago. This time to get rid of her old livery in favor of a brand new Fokker Heritage Flight color scheme. |

She then joined Air Lingus on the 19th November 1958 as EI-AKA. On the 19th June 1966 she arrived in New Zealand and was delivered to NAC as ZK-NAH. On the 1st of April 1978 Air New Zealand purchased NAC. She is now flying with Australia Air Cruising. Good to see her back in NZ. |
