It is a pretty rare thing for a new 400 HP Fletcher to be registered here, but Murray Hargreaves of Maungaturoto has imported just such an example from Australia where it was operated as VH-MYW with Yassair Pty Ltd of Yass, NSW. It was flown across the Tasman in late 2019.
It has been operating here for some time as in this video: https://www.facebook.com/mhargreavesltd/videos/749622772422795/ Listen to the sound!

As you would expect, this airframe has a previous history here and it was built by Pacific Aerospace in 1979. It was registered ZK-EMP as in this photo taken on 3/9/79.
