ZK-MCV then !

 Cessna A185F Skywagon 11 c/n A185F-04395 , was listed as N714FV to Cessna in October 1982.

 It was ferried into Christchurch from via Pago Pago on 29-11-1986. The above two shots show her in the Mount Cook hangar at Christchurch on 28-11-1986. Now thats interesting - If I took the photos on the 28th - and it didn't arrive until the 29th ?

 On 09-12-1986 (the day it was registered to The Mount Cook Group) it was wearing its MCV marks. Note the Ministry of Transport, Civil Aviation Division, Calibration Flights Fokker F27 ZK-DCB with Mount Cook Airlines titles on the lower fuselage. (Mt Cook had it from 03-11-1986 until returning it to MOT, CAD Cal Flight on 21-01-1987).
