Sadly no more as the last of the type goes for scrapping

Actually the last K4. There are three other K3s still flying, ZA147, 148 and 150.

Thanks for that
Confusing as it's being reported as the last K3 with the last K4 due to go today?
One thing for sure...there's not many left

Good training though as some might want to get a job for a National one day

It was actually the first of the four K3s to be retired, there are three still in service now alongside the single C1K (XR808). The last K4 was due at Brunty today but the flight was scrubbed. Next try will be tomorrow or the day after. More info in my forum here:
