F27 PK-VFM

PK-VFM was a FH227 with hydraulic systems rather than pneumatics.It was eventually ferried to CHC for repairs at the then NZNAC.It was jigged up and then both wing planks were totally replaced,rerigged and sent on its way.At the time there was a large team of ex Fokker sheeties employed there who made the whole job look rather mundane.Apparently it was the first time replanking had been undertaken outside the Fokker/Stork facilities.
