As we reported below, fellow Surveillance Australia Dash-8-200 VH-ZZI departed Bundaberg for Noumea on Saturday 20 June using the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) International flight callsign of "Ausy 1014".

We also reported that VH-ZZI was due to operate at least one flight while at Noumea but it appears that it hasn't taken to the air since arriving in New Caledonia on Saturday.  Of interest, VH-ZZP flew directly to Noumea on Sunday 21 June from Cairns and then operated at least two flights from and back to Noumea's La Tontouta International Airport.  VH-ZZI seems to have remained at Noumea.
