Iindeed Mike, it was nice to chat with you.

Needed one of the Shawbury choppers the other day also but was waiting for good things to happen at Lakenheath. Maybe I should have popped over. Never mind.

Re: Royal New Zealand Air Force November 2019

Thanks for all of the comments.

I have dug out & scanned some old prints from Ohakea in 2002 & posted them in the nostalgia section. Different types back then, few A-4s, MB339CBs, UH-1Hs, CT4Es, Beech 200s & training on Sioux.

All the best
