The 'first' Islander for Mount Cook Airlines, ZK-DBV was actually delivered after ZK-DBW and is still flying in New Zealand. Here it carries the prominent name 'Creamoata".

The ZK-DC# series has been reserved for the use of the Civil Aviation Division of the NZ Ministry of Transport and has not yet been completed. Perhaps surprisingly most of the aircraft have retained their marks after passing into private ownership later. The fifth aircraft to use the series (after ZK-DCC to DCF!) was this Fokker Friendship ZK-DCA of the Calibration Flight seen here with the appropriate 'Civair' titles at Timaru on 1.6.73.

The latest recruit to the Ministry sequence was Cessna 182P ZK-DCR, shown in smart 'official' red, white and blue scheme at Dairy Flat on 26.3.95.

Also in Ministry of Transport titles is Piper Navajo ZK-DCE seen at Wanganui on 7.3.70. This was chiefly used for testing instrument flying standards and as a communications aircraft for Ministry inspectors and Government ministers.
