There were two Victors at Ohakea in 1963 when there was also a big airshow/open day (the same time we had three F105D Thunderchiefs there). I have some photos that I might put up when I get to know the system a bit better! Or, Dave, can I email them to you to put up? OJ

Guys, I was at the 1958 Ohakea show and took notes. I have a strong recollection of the day, but do not recall any "mystery" aircraft of the description given either. Dave, where can we view the list that Shorty provided to you? OJ

Can someone please point me to a list of SAFE AIR B170 Registrations, Ship Names and nose-letter markings. I have several photos from 1962 to offer, but having difficulty matching regos to nose markings and names. For example, Nose-marking "O". Is that ZK-BYO or ZK-CAO or what? Also, none of my photos have double letters on the nose like your R-K above. Can someone explain that? Thanks. OJ

Can we start a thread for Reflex 2 1963? Or tell me where it is? The Army Engineers built the strip at Rangitaiki, south-east of Taupo and the RNZAF operated Harvard, Vampire, B170's and even a Hastings from the war games strip in October 1963. A lot of Ohakea personnel were part of it. So far I have only been able to buy a few RNZAF photos from the RNZAF Museum, Wigram (those that appeared in news releases at the time). There were no aerial shots at all, so one cannot guage today what the full extent of the activity was back then. Anyone got any personal photos from Reflex 2, 1963? OJ

Re the PL12 in Spain. Why didn't you buy the Catalina that is in the background? OJ
