| Longtime Ardmore resident DH82A Tigermoth ZK-BLI was conducting circuits 11 October. |
 |
| Registered to North Shore Helicopters in early August is this Airbus H130 ZK-IEM as seen at Ardmore 10 October. |
 |
| Ardmore based Cirrus SR22 ZK-PBR was conducting circuits 11 October. |
 |
| Cirrus SR22 ZK-SSP was one of the first of its type to appear in NZ. It was cancelled from the register as "revoked" in June 2015 and has been stored in the back of what was the Hawker Pacific hangar at Ardmore. This building has now been taken over by the NZ Warbirds Association and the Cirrus was man handled down the taxiway 11 October, I guess to another hangar. Hopefully we will see it fly again sometime soon. |
 |
| On leaving Ardmore 11 October I heard across the airwaves "Seaplane Bravo" joining to land so a quick 180 was conducted and back to the threshold to catch Beaver ZK-WKA returning home. It has been out of the air the last month or so with wings detached while modifications to increase her gross weight to allow for the carriage of more passengers. |
 |
| Napier-based Skyline Aviation recently added Citation Mustang ZK-YDZ to their fleet of charter and air ambulance aircraft. It has received the operator's colours and visited its old home of Ardmore 10 October. |
 |
As mentioned above, the Hawker Pacific hangar has been taken over by the NZ Warbirds Association and 11 October saw most (if not all) the aircraft shuffled outside to presumably aid in the movement of Cirrus ZK-SSP. Note the Trojan looks perfectly normal in the shot above, however........ |
