The RNZAF has shared on Facebook a batch of photos showing foreign visitors to RNZAF bases. No FB account needed to view.
e.g. Two Royal Navy Blackburn Buccaneer S.2s and a de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 in a hangar at RNZAF Station Ohakea. 1971
RAF Handley-Page B.2 Victor XM717 Air Force Day at RNZAF Ohakea. February 1964.

We had them till 1967 actually 🙂
Four ex-RNZAF Sunderlands survive. Two complete, one cockpit only and one hulk out on an island where it holed the hull landing.

Interesting set, had no idea the RNZAF still operated Sunderlands in 1964!
