Life Flight Wellington's latest Air Ambulance

Last Saturday I got my first photos of Life Flight Wellington's latest Air Ambulance. Like their other aircraft, it's a British Aerospace J32 Jetstream, registered ZK-LFT. also like the other aircraft, this is operated by [and therefore registered to] Air Freight NZ of a Palmerston North address.

From what I can tell, the last ZK-LFT was a Fairchild Metroliner, also operated on behalf of Life Flight Wellington.

Correct on the previous use. Registered Jan 2001 and cancelled Nov 2015. Seen here at Wellington in Feb 2011. https://flic.kr/p/9nE2xc

Do you know what happened to the Metro? are-registered? Coke cans? Parted out?

Air chathams removed any parts of use. The cockpit section now resides in a garage in Cockle bay, Auckland. Plan is to make a simulator out of it eventually.

Hi Rodney,

Lifeflight are asking if it is possible for pictures of this aircraft not be made public till Feb/Mar 2018. We are co-operating with this request on the Wellington Airport Spotters Group on Facebook. If you have any question please contact Terri at Lifeflight.

Cheers
