Hi all
As I have seen the RhAF display at Tauranga I thought the following might be of interest.
A Rhodesian Air Force Hunter and a Canberra aircraft were lost on the
3rd October 1979.
A search was undertaken by Bob Manser in late 2007 and both crash sites
have been located. The searches have been fully documented and make for
very interesting reading and can be viewed on these two web pages:
Finding the Hunter Crash Site ? September 2007 - October 2007

Finding The Canberra Crash Site ? November 14, 2007

The Canberra article carries a very moving and special Memorial Service.
Should you visit the articles, please leave a comment, and more
importantly, your thoughts and please indicate where you are connecting
from.
RIP
