Title: F4U-1D RNZAF No. 30 Servicing Unit "Tutea Wera"
Post by: whiteman on September 24, 2021, 07:13:26 PM

About as much as i can gather it flew from Jacquinot Bay, Papua New Guinea in 1945 and served with both No. 3 and 30 Service Units. Later photos show it with bomb markings probably added with 30 but carried what would a standard 3 unit markings through it's life. "Tutea Wera" is Maori for "Hot $#1t".
