75 colours are laid up in the Ohakea Chapel. Disbandment ( link): "The RNZAF Air Combat Force, comprising Nos 2, 14, and 75 Squadrons, was officially disbanded on 13 December 2001. The disbandment day parade marched the three squadron standards to the Base Ohakea chapel of St Mark and were laid up there to hang from the rafters, until such time as the squadron(s) are reinstated." |

May be not. There has been discussion in the past of informal unit flags that were used for social/sporting occasions and were used in place of the standards during parade rehearsals.
