| G-BPBT (above) was a series 200 Quick Change variant. It is seen above at Christchurch on 2 Dcember 1989 and then later as ZK-NZC again at Christchurch, on 6 February 1997... Note the large cargo door in the photo below. Photos : S Lowe |

| BAe 146-300 ZK-NZL at Auckland on 16 April 1999 with the Australian stars tail... I don't see why they didn't leave the NZ flag type-stars on the tail. Photo : S Lowe |

It was a NZ-fied Southern Cross - all FOUR stars with 5-points. The Aussie Ansett birds had a Southern Cross set with five stars that looked more like the Australian flag dimensions. The large 7-point star confuses things a bit I suppose but it was integral to the Ansett brand logo.
