Any word of aircraft type or location? Surely there's been some proving flights or something going on.....

Will be very cool to have floats in AKL again!

[NZFlyingKiwi]

I'm not aware of any aircraft operations yet, proving or otherwise, unless they've been very discrete which is difficult on the Auckland waterfront!

[Results may vary]

Indeed, I'm wondering if they will be using the old mechanics bay seaplane ramp....

[flyinkiwi]

If they are using floatplanes there would be no need to use the ramp, a pontoon anchored at the end of a wharf somewhere would suffice. And who said they had to operate from the city waterfront? I reckon Devonport would be a better location.

Just a heads up, the Beaver C-GBVR was registered ZK-AMA on 09-Jul-2013 to Auckland Seaplane Services Ltd.

Damn shame if the NIMBYs do stop it.
Nothing like sitting on the shore at Rose Bay on a sunny afternoon and watching the Beavers and Caravans come and go.
Very pretty.

Looks like a HZ Holden, fluting behind the wheel arches suggests a Premier. Gawd I feel old...:\

[Ejector]

It looks like it is on EDO 4930's, these are defiantly the best float for beaver to be mounted on.

Beaver is on the water at Westhaven Marina today 20 August
