#3 Leading edge slats on the Blue's A-4's were welded shut. But only on the A-4's the T-Bird had normally operating ones...
#5 3Sqn, 77Sqn and 2OCU
#7 Recon, the Modified RF-111C's #8. The B? #9 Gunship
Maybe?

Didn't the Ohakea museum end up with the remains of the Macchi that went into Whangarei Harbour? I'm sure that was the one on a big trailer outside....

What's your name?Sean Galbraith Where are you from?Christchurch since October 2005, previously Masterton How old are you?35 going on 16 What is your main interest in aviation? Is it historic? Airlines? Military...6 months ago this would have been much easier to answer; Post WWII Military, mainly RNZAF. But recently I have getten a bit interested in modern airliners... must be a phase I am going through! Tell us about your background in aviation. Are you just an enthusiast or have you got more hands on experience? Are you a pilot? Do you have an Air Force Background? Or a civil aviation background? I have been an aviation nut in one form or another since my earliest memories... in fact I still have a book from my childhood which got me hooked; it had a cut-away view of the "new" F-4 Phantom fighter (be a Phantom Phanatic every since!) I joined the ATC back in the early 80's and started gliding shortly after, going solo and eventually doing C cert, before the lure of powered flight came calling. I got to do the RNZAF flying scholarship at Wigram in 1989, soloing in Airtourer NZ1762. Nearest I got to a career in the Air Force was passing PERSEL, then not progressing further. (I hindsight I should have taken the other careers offered...) Since then I have been mad on flight sims, to the extent of building a number of cockpits, or "Simpits" the last of which was a low fidelity A-4k (with a big thankyou to Don Simms for his help!) Moved to Christchurch to take up my dream job, building 737-800 simulators for a living, for Pacific Simulators. Sort of explains the current interest in modern airliners... Do you belong to any aviation groups, like the NZ Warbirds, RNZAF Association, Royal Aeronautical Society or CAF, etc?No. Well none yet... but now I am near Wigram.. who knows Are you an aircraft modeller? (Scale or R/C)I have dabbled in R/C and scale... but nothing any good. Unless you count "virtual" modelling, I have built aircraft and scenery for MS Flight Sim starting in the 80's.... Oh, and the 1:1 cockpit building... does that count as modelling? What are your favourite aviation books?"Flight of the Intruder" "The Intruders" "Final Flight" "The Red Horsemen" "The Minotaur" "Under Seige" ...All by Stephen Coonts "Bogies and Bandits, the Making of a Fighter Pilot" by Robert Gandt "Enemy Coast Ahead" by Guy Gibson What are your favourite aviation films or TV programmes?Top Gun.... Flight of the Intruder Air America The Dambusters 633 Squadron Battle of Britain Do you frequent other aviation forums?Not really.. browse a couple from time to time, havent found one to call home before this one Have you any comments or suggestions for this forum, to hopefully improve your own personal usage and enjoyment on the forum? No, it looks pretty damn good to me ;-) SeanG
