A couple of weeks ago the comment ' I AM OVER WINTER' or words to such effect was added to the end of the SPAR.

Saw RMK SHYTE= added to the end of one during a particularly cloudy and wet week a couple of winters ago. Good stuff.

A lot of NZ's ducks are heavily unionised since the first Ausi ducks made it across the ditch in the eighties.It's pretty much getting out of control now as some of them refuse to fly during early May.

Non-ICAO NZ thing.
