Two 172's

We have today two Cessna 172's photographed a few days back now.
 Above is Cessna 172R Skyhawk ZK-TAQ (c/n 17280754) as listed to the Ardmore Flying School Ltd since 13-08-1999. It was captured at Pauanui by Richard Currie on 19-09-2017.
Some will know and some will notice that it is powered with a Continental TC diesel Silentium 155 engine.
Check out the Oceania Aviation Silentium link HERE.
How many other conversion do we have in NZ ? 
I know of ZK-VAT - see earlier post Here.
And just for interest I include this pic of the engine cowling of ZK-VAT - nice eh !

Above is the Cessna 172R Skyhawk ZK-RQZ (c/n 17280980) as registered to L3 CTS Airline Academy (NZ) Ltd of Hamilton (This is a re-name of CTC Aviation Training (NZ) Ltd).
This 172 is one of the batch recently imported, ex Royal Queensland Aero Club. by Aeromotive Ltd of Hamilton.
It is seen above at Tauranga on 28-09-2017 by Grayson Ottaway.
