Whenuapai RAF NZ 757

[Mayfly]

A couple of years ago the RAF NZ 757 displayed at Waddington - it was a stunning display when you think it was built as an airliner

These are a few pics taken at Whenuapai of one of them. The RAF NZ had 2 converted for their use with cargo doors installed immediately behind the cargo net - which is why they always have to fly with it in position

team Thomas again

They also have hercs, Orions [good silhouette eh ] & Kaman SH-2 Seasprite

It must be some kind of code SM and MF use Xpl. WTF is a reward facing seat?

[Hungry Haggis]

Think it's a case of SM's fed up of his arse Going first .(as in rearward) or going backwards at 500mph

[Jigsaw]

I didn't think it mattered with SM......Sh1t comes out at BOTH ends

Oooh, that's cruel. True though
