out at
last
months meeting for the
Jim Marks Trophy, prize

tables and 6 longer tables
or part there off as they
say) please let me know
prior to the meeting. Will
save on the debate if the

A tribute to a former life - memorial in the “new” Wigram housing estate.
Of the 18th Tactical Fighter Wing (‘The Shoguns’) ,
based at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. This aircraft
was assigned to the the unit’s Commanding Officer,
Colonel F. Beatty. Circa 1987 - 1888
Aircraft from this unit were
among the last USAF aircraft to participate in joint exercises with the
RNZAF, visiting New Zealand for Exercise Triad ‘84. New Zealand’s
‘Nuclear Free’ policy resulted in the US Government suspending direct mili-
tary co-operation with New Zealand’s Armed Forces.
