Today's visitor was this rare [one-of-type on the NZ aircraft register] Mitsubishi MU-2B-30, ZK-KOH. This aircraft is operated as an air ambulance by Search and Rescue Services of a Taupo address. Despite being "one of type", three other MU-2B's were flown to New Zealand a few years ago for the RNZAF to use as non-flying instructional airframes.
This type has a fairly interesting history
documented in Wikipedia... well worth the read.

I believe at least one more is on the way for them.
For Search & Rescue Services or the RNZAF? Nice either way :-)
Air ambulance/SAR I think.
