That's about right: Australia helps an ally by contributing military firepower, meanwhile New Zealand contributes a Haka. Relax Its only a Movie

Nice pics Ykato, thanks. We've just seen them over Tahunanui beach, Nelson, still the same polished performance, but I thought the routine was a bit lacking in impact, not sure if it was the situation, the glarey sky or what, no formation barrel rolls though, from memory, this has featured in the past. Steve. Cheers

Highschool dropout helms navy frigate Command of the navy's most prestigious warship Te Kaha has been handed over to a man who was once a high school dropout. Commanding Officer David McEwan, 47, was registered unemployed when he joined the Limited Service Volunteer scheme run by the New Zealand Defence Force in 1984. ''When I left school I didn't have much of a focus. I wasn't really the academic type, I just wanted to have a good time,'' he said. www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/8274627/Highschool-dropout-helms-navy-frigate
