Just got my latest copy of AFN today...and they've put a nice little poster centrefold in it of a P-40! Big ups to them, hopefully its a regular occurrence! ;D

Indeed a very nice centrefold, but I found the smaller P-40N fourship photo interesting too. Note they all seem to have had rudders changed and have the US-style camouflage. They look to be operational aircraft. I wonder if anyone knows more about them.
Another interesting article was the inaugral Vietnam commemoration. I never realised that the RNZAF had sent a medical team to the Vietnam War, and that they had lost one of their members.

He's kidding. I'm in Cambridge and have had my copy a few days. I assume you are a subscriber? It doesn't come out in the shops.

Its easy to subscribe: just email airforcenews@nzdf.mil.nz and ask to be added onto distribution list. I enjoy getting it as its one of the few ways I keep up with whats going on in the RNZAF, and sometimes see old workmates etc there too!

yeah i emailed them a couple of weeks ago (3-4) but didn't see any activity so i did the request form online, if i received two copies i would just cancel one, yet i haven't had a response from them like the automated email said i would.

It takes about 20 days in Nelson, so don't fret.
