Returning to Christchurch yesterday from a major repaint at Washdyke was the Garden City Helicopters Ltd's Eurocopter EC 130 B4 ZK-IGF (c/n 4228).![]()
It was imported from Japan where it operated as JA17MB from April 2007 until cancelled on 11-05-2017 for export to NZ. It joined our register on 26-07-2017.

I note it does not wear the Garden City Helicopters graphics as it did whilst still in its earlier ex Japanese colour scheme .
But it does have 'Operated by GCH Aviation' below the door in smallish letters.
