On page five of this thread 'jed thrust' had the Baddams nicknames correct: http://www.pprune.org/military-aviat...ml#post3921101

'BentStick' made a comment that is just wrong concerned about ground refuelling via ARF probe: http://www.pprune.org/military-aviat...ml#post3770938
"...I was often left wondering whether what the RNZAF did to survive was innovative or stupid (Ground refuelling Skyhawks via the ARP with engines running was one that springs to mind)...."
That was a well known and used ground refueling technique ashore in RAN FAA & RNZAF & onboard MELBOUNRE (pics to follow?).

Then KIWIs do it for themselves at NAS Nowra & somewhere else UnKnown - Oh the Horror....

I see lots of A4Gs photos now missing from this thread (so I don't know what was being shown) but anyway I know about the 'mixed formation photo from Air Day 1969 at NAS Nowra' and it'll be here soonish like.
