I was dropping a rental car off a at WLG in Nov 2009 when my eyes saw something Gold sitting on the tarmac - yes it was a Gulf Air Airbus - the Kiwi Soccer team was playing Bahrain that weekend , I guess it was flying on a low load . Got pics to prove it.
Quite correct!
That was how New Zealand got to the FIFA World Cup in 2010 -
AND went through the tournament as the only unbeaten team.
