| However, the Dash 7, the Pegasus and the Newmans name were soon to leave New Zealand skies. The arrival of the first De Havilland DHC-8 Dash 8 Series 100 ZK-NEY in Christchurch on 15 December 1986 sporting Ansett Newmans titles, pictured above, signalled the beginning of the end. Photo : S Lowe |

| Keeping with the De Havilland flavour of the month, Greymouth based Coast Air's days of operatind De Havilland Canada Twin Otter ZK-OTR (pictured above at Christchurch on 14 December 1986) were about to end. A week later Piper Navajo ZK-JGA was on the run (below). Photo taken at Greymouth on 21 December 1986.
