A sad thread
While on detachment with 50sqn to RNZAF Ohakea in February 1973, I was lucky enough to get a ride in the 74(?)sqn T-bird. Fg. Off. Rod Murdoch opted for low-level route Gold - memorably and spectacularly through the Alps of South Island and culminating in an attack on Queenstown, after which he stood it on its a$se and we climbed out. I don't remember many better days' flying. RIP A4.
