Uncle Dick Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well chaps just had a look at the participants for the Royal New Zealand Navy 75th Anniversary & Fleet Review (see below extract from RNZN) and there is one glaring omission - No visiting vessel from the Royal Navy, I understand the Royal Navy has pressing commitments at the moment and has suffered extensive cut backs over the years, but the lack thereof of a participating Royal Navy warship is to say the least very disappointing, given the support and sacrifices the Kiwis have given the UK over the last 75 years... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dick Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Now that you mention it the Red Arrows were in Singapore and Malaysia recently and now China - would have been a lovely treat for the Kiwi 75th Navy bash - especially as the Kiwis have no fast air! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
