Dear colleagues !
Who can help me with following question:
– has (in any period) the New Zealand Hawker Hunter aircraft (registered as ZK-JIL) his registration, painted on his surfaces in full form – as ZK-JIL exactly ? Any images with ZK-JIL are welcome !
Or this plane has always only three letters “JIL” ?

Thank You, dear Avro Avian, for Your detailed and clear answer.
Now it is clear, for what reason many of New Zealand historical aircrafts flies with three-letter codes only.
Thanks.
Flyer.

In New Zealand the NZCAA rules Part 47.101 state:
Smaller aircraft (less than 5700 kg) typically have less surface area on which to display full marks, therefore when
operated within New Zealand some aircraft are not required to display the nationality mark (ZK).
These aircraft types are identified in 47.101(b). Unless otherwise stated, these aircraft are still required to
display the allocated three-letter registration mark.
Also:
New Zealand has a large number of airworthy historical aircraft. It is now possible for the holder of the certificate of registration to apply for an approval to display the aircraft’s historical and identifiable paint scheme and markings under 47.104, as an alternative to displaying the aircraft’s
allocated registration mark.
It was an Air Law exam question….:D
