		Well before a RNZAF 757 stopped to pick up troops in Townsville the other day I was somehow under the impression that New Zealand didn't have any air force, so I'm actually rather impressed.
		About the herc - this is not native to the RNZAF - I flew from Sale to Coolangatta for the indy (and back) and both flights were up to three hours late because the herc broke down and they had to change aircraft.
		I must say that the RNZAF musn't be very busy - I have a friend in the RNZAF who is on the Navigator course at RAAF East Sale, and for Christmas leave he got picked up by a kiwi 757 enroute from Canberra - he was the only one at Sale.

		The largest single engined aircraft to serve with the RNZAF began life with work by Grumman's design and technical teams led by W.T. Schwendler.
		Although the RNZAF was originally allocated 63 aircraft from Grumman production in 1943, only 48 were ever delivered, with the first six (NZ2501 to NZ2506) TBF-1’s delivered on the "William Keith" in September, 1943.
		At this time, the ground crew component of 8(GR) Squadron were reformed as 30 Servicing Unit (SU) under the RNZAF's policy to have the aircraft pooled and issued as needed to the flying squadrons for operations.

		A couple of RNZAF officers including an engineer officer were flown down to look at it on 14th Sept, and after discussions with a Japanese engineer officer and a demonstration of the engine running, this information was relayed back to Piva.
		Although he could not locate the relevant file, an RNZAF officer (bless his heart) was convinced that the Zeke had been promised to the War Memorial Museum in Auckland many years before (it had been, in 1947) and that they were to take delivery of it "when they had the room to display it".
		Also to expect an RNZAF pilot to ferry this aircraft from Kara to Piva without ASI, etc, even in clear weather is quite preposterous, not that he could NOT have done it, but it would go against everything he had learned as a pilot of heavy aircraft over previous six years.

	Kiwi Skyhawk Operations
		Ironically by the time the war ended the RNZAF was a large, modern and well-trained fighting machine, but initially our personnel went to war (and died) woefully under trained and equipped.
		RNZAF pilots selected to fly the Skyhawk will have completed a year of basic training on the CT-4E Airtrainer, followed by two years of Lead-in-Fighter Training on the Aermacchi MB339CB, prior to being posted to 2 Squadron in Nowra for their Skyhawk conversion course.
		The RNZAF has been deploying its strike aircraft on the ‘Vanguard’ series of exercises almost continuously for the past 40 years and has an enviable reputation for performance, safety and aircraft serviceability during these intensive 6 to 8 week deployments.

	SBD-5 Dauntless NZ5057 RNZAF in Profile
		The Douglas SBD Dauntless was used for a short time by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and in that time it distinguished itself as being a plane that delivered its weapons on target, on time.
		The origins of the artwork are unknown, but it appears to be a winged stomach carrying a wide assortment of alcohol.
		It is to be noted that the RNZAF roundels differed greatly from plane to plane, with some featuring the large white inner ring and blue borders shown here, while others had a thin white inner ring and no blue borders, and there was yet a third variation that had no white bars at all.

	Defence Aspects of the Current and Future Use of RNZAF Base Auckland - Joint Use Post-Consolidation
		Whenuapai is currently the preferred operational location because of its proximity to the Devonport Naval base, and the helicopter capable ships, and because Whenuapai (as an RNZAF base) provides appropriate support facilities.
		Base Auckland is home for the six Orion maritime patrol aircraft, the five Hercules and the two Boeing 757 transport aircraft, the NSF, and the Operational Support Squadron.
		The SAS's deployability and ability to undertake counter-terrorism tasks will not be affected by the RNZAF's consolidation at Ohakea, or the possible future uses of Whenuapai.
