No wind up, but a lady PM who had demonstrated about the arrival of the A4s a long time ago and when offered cheap F16s elected to bin all Skyhawks and Aermaccis instead. The Kiwi Transport, helicopter and Maritime fleet survive (just).
Guess there will be a few job applicants from our colonial mates to join the UK Armed Forces after this. I already know of 1 Kiwi helicopter pilot and 2 aussie crewmen in the RAF.
