Deciphering a Logo

I'm currently providing limited assistance to someone on another forum who is making a new livery for an old New Zealand-based airline that operated in the 1980's. The livery will be for Milton Shupe's DHC-7.

I'm asking for help with two things:

1. Can anyone figure out what the white text near the rear door says on this image? I have an idea, but I won't say it yet so as to not influence anyone's guesses.
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Newmans/ ... 7b37062385

2. Is anyone able to dig up ANY other images of this airline on the internet (other than the airliners.net and a jetphotos.net one) that could be helpful for creating a repaint?

Thanks for the assistance.
-Sean

It either says 'Nomad' or 'Newmans,' but I would guess Nomad.

Ok, I'll add that to the list of possibilities. I was thinking it says "Northland", just to let you know. If if come up with any other ideas, or any decent images, let me know. That goes for everyone that sees this.

Not that it helps, but I found it's sister plane.

Your logo looks like it starts with a 'K' in the Anet pic
