I've been on a MiG tear this afternoon and thought I'd try and find out what the former ZK-MIG looks like now...and I found it! On a Japanese guy's Twitter feed from May!

I never knew there was a MiG-15 flying in NZ at all; learned something new today. Shame I never saw it.

Me too: I only ever saw it in the Warbirds Over Wanaka videos and books. Here's a nice little video of Graham Bethell doing his thing with ZK-MIG over Wanaka at Easter 1998:

I think the guys at Mainland Air in Dunedin owned it back then.

I seem to remember that Mike Kelly from Southair had some connection to a Mig-15 at one stage.

Yes..... think it was Mike Kelly. That sounds familiar. I did the paint scheme and all the stencils and markings for it then applied them at Winrye at Bankstown....from memory still waiting to be paid.......that was a long time ago
