Originair now flying between Wellington and Nelson

New Zealand's latest domestic regional carrier, Originair, has commenced operations on what must be one of the most hotly contested routes, between Nelson and Wellington.

I managed to get photos of their takeoff from Wellington this afternoon, and I do like their livery - different, but quite nice. The aircraft is a British Aerospace Jetstream J31, ZK-JSH. It is actually operated by Air Freight NZ on behalf of Originair. The aircraft itself has been around for a while, having been first registered in NZ in May 1997.

Originair have since added J32 ZK-ECI to the fleet

Yeah, I heard that. Any idea of the livery? Has it been painted up the same as JSH?
