There have always been exchange pilots on 75, and as recently as Easter this year an airshow featured an A4 display by an RAF pilot, (or so they said). There have always been Kiwis in the RAF, as I believe NZ was one of the few countries where places were made available.Certainly there are many examples that I can think of.

There is a military strip south of Darwin called Tindal. It was built by the RAAF some 30 -odd years ago, and was to be christened at an appropriate time by a ceremonial landing by an RAAF type.Before that could happen however, an RNZAF DC6 en-route from Darwin did a touch and go!Isn't rivalry wonderful!
