Would you have any objections to turning this into a feature? That way it will be kept in the walkarounds file where it can more easily be found.

I'll just snaffle the images from your photobucket site then

You'll get an authorship credit and become a contributor in the bargain.

As an aside, 1/72 decals are available for the RNZAF NH-90 from Oldmodels.com:
http://www.oldmodelsdecals.com/RNZAF-current-schemes-only.htmlI have their set for the Seasprite SH-2G and it looks very well done.

Hey James .
You lucky buggar
Those are very cool photos.
The best I claim is as we live at Whangaparaoa we get the Sea Sprites flying over and training off the peninsula.(For some reason 11-12pm seems to be the norm lately)
Have also had the NH 90 do a fly over.
On a side note have you heard any thing about the RNZAF picking up the no longer required Aussie Sprites?

Hi Chris
Nice to meet another Kiwi here! Yes I did hear from one of the Defense Force blokes that EnZed is going to be acquiring the RAN Seasprites. He said better do the model (of the Seasprite) quick because the new ones were going to be 'a bit different'.
Cheers

If NZAF grinds them the West Islanders might throw some rotary phones and Victrolas in to sweeten the deal!
