How did the R.N.Z.A.F. get to have a Vulcan?

They didn't.

I havn't seen this particular pic before but I would guess that the insignia was painted on while the aircraft was visiting NZ.
Vulcans visited the country on many occasions.

It was, and probably still is, a common practice to adorn aircraft with the national and/or squadron symbols of the country they were visiting.

Have seen an air to air shot of a Vulcan (aahh!) with this marking in a magazine from years ago (Aeroplane?). Seem to remember markings were altered when said aircraft was on a visit to NZ.

The 'vandalism' was done at Ohakea.

I was hoping to dig out an eye witness, but early days yet
