1946, 1000 aircraft and 45,000 people.
2009, 53 aircraft, approx 2000 staff.
I can see the headlines now
RNZAF 1,000% overstaffed , government announces efficiency review to reduce staff to 4.5 personnel per aircraft ....
Consolidate all the aircraft into one base , reduce staff to 250 and you'll have a nice active flying club
Not being mean with these comments , I don't think NZ can go on like this without some fast jets
