The NZ Gov't held on to these waiting for a sale .... that fell t
hru .
By then it was not hot news , a few Kiwi/Aussie bro's went to work .
The whole fleet of A4's with the best tech in the world on board ,,, and the sale was going south ..
the spare parts ???
I liked the ANZAC Navy by then , our tree hugging politicians knew better , NZ lost its Balls !!! Airborn style .
Those SkyHawks were world famous . And scary in the sky .
Taken by the same attitude that let the French walk after the 'Rainbow Warrior" was bombed in Auskland NZ ...
I know a lot about ....
thanks Flash ! .
