I thought some of you may be interested in a list of all aircraft bought or leased by the Rnzaf in the period of 1919-1987. This includes imperial gift aircraft and those received via lend lease during world war two. The New Zealand Government had three reports commissioned in the pre-war years. Two of these reports were in early 1919 and late 1928 suggested plans that would cost far in excess of which the government of the time was willing to spend. (In my opinion a dreadful policy that still exists to this today) When the RNZAF as it was renamed was divorced from the army, the New Zealand government thought it prudent to get advice on how to set it up. So asked the British air ministry to send out a qualified officer to write a report and make recommendations.
Ever wanted to know what types of aircraft the Royal new Zealand Air force used over it's life time? Look at this post it's a concise list!
