New Zealand based Oceania Aviation have recently imported a pair of AS332L Super Pumas, with a short YouTube video showing them being craned off a couple of trucks and put into their Ardmore Airport hangar.

The helicopters have been acquired from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, where they had been used as VVIP aircraft from 1985 until they were put in storage at Kasumigaura Army Camp, Ibaraki Prefecture in 2006.  A disposal process for the helicopters, and a third example, was initiatied in December 2017.
