Foreign aircraft visitors to Tauranga

 US registered Piper PA46 Malibu N9099Z landed into Tauranga on Wednesday 18th November  and parked up outside Classic flyers. Apparently,it is NZ based and lives in Nelson on the top of South Island

A few days previously Australian registered Cessna 441 VH-WGS arrived for the night before departing south towards Wanganui.I believe it is on a photo survey contract along side VH-ZIO Cessna 210 which is also here at present.
