Spotted visiting Pauanui last week was Tauranga based RV8 ZK-MRM sporting the addition of ZK- alluding to the potential for the aircraft to be headed overseas. This observation was indeed correct with the light sports aircraft embarking from Kerikeri 15 November 2018 destined for Norfolk Island. It returned to Kerikeri the next day.
The RV8 is the second aircraft to wear the "MRM" registration. The first was a BAe 125-800 MSN 258047 from March 1987 until August 1989 with Chase Corporation.
