So first the opposition were up in the clouds and then it was a "flash past"
How did you know who it was if they were up in the clouds? Could really have been any one couldnt it? or were you at home with your scanner on?

Let me explain something.
There are two operators that service Great Barrier Island. Both operate BN Islanders and one operates Trilanders as well. Both leave AA at the same time, in this case 1600hrs (Check their websites).
If you live near the flight path, as I do, you get used to the melodic rumble as they go past. In fact you tend to feel the vibration before you hear the noise.
So I may be wrong, but I would safe bet that the other aircraft was an Islander. Sorry don't own a scanner so can't prove it.
"Flash past" was satrical prose, maybe you missed that?
