The name was writ large on the Empire:

and rather smaller on the Solent 4 ZK-AML, which became 'Aotearoa II'

When the landplanes arrived, DC-6 ZK-BGA became 'Aotearoa III' in 1954

By the time 'Aotearoa' appeared on L-188C Electra ZK-TEA in 1959, the numbering sequence seems to have been dropped and just the name appeared.

Boeing 767 ZK-NBA apparently carried the 'Aotearoa' name at some time during the 1985 - 1997 era, before the aircraft was leased overseas

To round out the list, does anyone have any knowledge of any other aircraft that carried the 'Aotearoa' name?
