Apparently an Aussie MRH-90 was spotted in Auckland today.

The MRH s are very similar to the NHs only adjusted for the combat mode , few questions i asked the crew at Wiggy last week .. good HU for the Aucklanders

No need to stop in Hamilton with 4 hours of gas on board.

Errr...plus Hamilton is a bit out of the way when you're going from Ohakea to Wigram

I think the point HamiltonWest was making was that it'd be good if they'd go to Hamilton at some point on a separate trip....
