NZFF at Lord Howe

[Bandit]

Well in case some of you were wondering what the HMNZS Bandit was doing off the port side of the Lord Howe runway. After delivering the fuel supplies. Here's what I was up too -


Waiting for the team to arrive.



First there was one




Then there were more. Some of the team prepares to depart.



They're on their way.


Well done Team. Great effort.

Time to go to the Galley and collect my issue of Navy Rum.
But the silence was disturbed by this

Time to cut back on my Rum Ration!! Natas arrives in the S-76. But since I don't have this Helo installed, this is what I saw.

Nice pics, especially that last one.
That looks like a pretty neat ship, where abouts did you get it from?

I think it's this multiculturalism that NZ strives for

Well the RNZAF doesn't have a battleship. The NZ Navy however does have ships - just. . Admittedly ours are frigates. But Monkey is pretty close to the mark.

Since Auntie Helen and co decided to stuff up our airforce they have now started on our Navy. Rather than buy new helicopters they have entered a fleet lease agreement through a off shoot of Hertz. Though they faced a strong bid from Avis.

The machine in question is on a low hour, 3 year lease.

Really - I just reckoned this ship looked better with something on the deck rather than another that was just bare.

The water etc comes from here Lord Howe package at Avsim. You should also get this flatten .bgl that Microsoft missed.

I use different water textures etc available from Avsim and Hovercontrol normally but for these screenies, I think the above file should be all you need.

that last screenshot begs to differ

my mistake- I meant the Navy lol!

Thanks for the Lord Howe link- I wish I had seen it before the TTEC flight!

That last shot is absolutely classic good one mate "I wouldnt be cutting back on the rum I would be wondering if it was actually rum and cigars I was having that day"

Nice..... There's some nice stuff there on FS Shipping!
