These three photos were taken at Avtek at Timaru on Monday the 24th.The office seems to be well equiped [& still retains its US registration plaque].
All the rear seats have been removed and replaced by squabs along the fuselage side.
The cargo pod has been removed and is seen here alongside a Cessna 185 to give some idea of its size.
A lovely piece of machinery and I imagine a great improvement on the Walter Fletcher.
