Looks like the RNZAF will be playing a part in the movie, Tomorrow when the war began 2.
The surviving members of the group are eventually captured and placed in a high security prison. During an air-raid by the Royal New Zealand Air Force the group escapes, but loses yet another member while doing so. They encounter a downed RNZAF pilot and arrange to be evacuated to New Zealand.
Book four, Darkness, Be My Friend, takes place several months later. The group is trying to live a normal life in New Zealand with other refugees, but are haunted by their memories of the war (which is still ongoing). They are approached by the New Zealand Defence Force, who are seeking Australian guerrillas to act as guides for saboteur units that are being dropped into occupied Australian territory. The group returns to Wirrawee, their hometown, accompanied by a platoon of New Zealand troops.
The soldiers that are sent back along with them go missing while on a mission to destroy Wirrawee Airfield (which is being used as a major military airbase). Alone behind enemy lines once more the group decided to attack the Airfield themselves. They fail and return, depressed, to Hell.
Soon after, through sheer luck, the group find themselves perfectly positioned to attempt another attack on the Airfield. This time they succeed, and manage to destroy a majority of planes on the airfield. After the attack, the group find their way to the nearby city of Stratton. In Stratton they discover a tribe of feral (and hostile) children, who have been living on the streets and hiding from enemy troops since the war began.
The group rescue five of the children from being captured by enemy patrol, and escape back to Hell. For a time the group looks after the children. During this time strained relationships are mended and the soul destroying effects of the war are tempered by a chance to do something positive. However, this period does not last. A patrol ambushes the group near their base and after defeating their attackers in a prolonged firefight, the group realizes that they are no longer safe in Hell, and make contact with New Zealand immediately.
They discover that the war is entering its final days and that groups of partisans like themselves are being asked to cause as much chaos behind enemy lines as possible while New Zealand and its allies launch an all out offensive. The group arranges for the feral children to be evacuated to New Zealand and are provided with plastic explosives to carry out their task.
