Is this aircraft currently airworthy?
Is it actually used for agops?
If so - where is it based, Kairanga? Napier? or elsewhere?

She is normally on display at the Central District Fieldays each year (the most recent being this weekend ). It was MIA this year, with the Beaver taking its place on the ground alongside a Cresco.
I think its now fitted with seats

It was in Hallett Griffin's hangar late last year when I was there Peter. Still very airworthy.

Hi Alan, yes, Ray is definitely a good bloke and so very knowledgeable. 2 more projects in the Kairanga hangar  and N8192 behind the Beaver, not sure what this is but quite rare I believe  |

N8192 is a Travel Air 2000 Crop sprayer - a sister aircraft to one I've has a bit to do with at Mercer.
