Flying Vampires with 75 Squadron RNZAF 1969-70

[KiwiBiggles]

I've long been a fan of the A-4K having seen it fly often as a youngster, but have only recently started learning about the Vampire, Venom and Canberra in RNZAF service and integrating some excellent mods here at CA into my SF2 install.  I was hunting around on the internet for images to figure out which roundels RNZAF used at various periods when I stumbled across this blog by Air Commodore Jim Barclay RNZAF (Retired) which is too good not to share.  I'm sure there are other posts on Jim's blog which will interest readers too. Enjoy!

...and this is a nice piece on the history of the RNZAF Silver Fern and Kiwi roundels.
