The cute little twin - which is also ugly to some! - had flown into the Gold Coast from Auckland earlier in the week.

The New Zealand (NZ) Civil Aircraft Blog (http://nzcivair.blogspot.com.au/) reported in December that the Diamond is owned by Malaysian Die Casting Industries - hence the registration!

Meanwhile, one other notable - but now frequent - visitor to Hamo was Shortstop Jet Charter British Aerospace BAe-125-1000B bizjet VH-LMP which called in twice this week on Wednesday 25 March and again on Saturday 28 March, both times from Melbourne (Essendon) Airport.  At the time of writing, it remains parked on Hamo.
