An Interesting Development

 

In an interesting development Fairchild Metro 23 ZK-POE, which had been registered to Air Chathams but had not flown since Airwork days has been placed on the Australian civil aircraft register even though it remains sitting engineless at Auckland. It was cancelled from the New Zealand civil aircraft register as "withdrawn" on the 6th of June 2024 and was placed on the Australian civil aircraft register as VH-AC5 on the 19th of July registered to EastWest Aviation Pty Ltd and being operated by Sharp Aviation Pty Ltd.

The fact that is has been registered indicates it might yet see further service.

Thank you to the person who wrote a comment about this on another post.
