What a nice bunch of pics thank you. I won't mention that it reminds me of what we may have seen in the RAN so I won't say it. ;D

Les, thanks for posting such a wonderful selection of shots.
Do you happen to know where that first shot was taken?

Superb shots Les, just superb. I realise that's not an RNZAF one firing the missile but how often do ours fire the missiles for training purposes? If that first shot is anything to go by, no wonder the Navy is updating its fleet.  |

The first shot is Raoul Island if the files were marked correctly at work. If not Raoul then its one of far out islands the Navy resupplies.
That is one of ours Dave, just fresh from the factory and not handed over yet ;-)
I think we were the first to have a Maverick on a Sprite and had to fire one to do stores clearance, there video of it at work.
I'm not sure what tail no it eventually became though.
There's been no live firings that I know of but I did see that 2 are in the programme for later in the year sometime.
