Know the feeling, we just got a flying kiwi Corsair back in the
country (saw it flying here on TV a couple of days ago.)

Another Kiwi Corsair... :-)
We have an airworthy Corsair down here that came from New Zealand.
IIRC, it is the oldest birdcage Corsair in existance and it seems its
history card says it was used in combat in WWII. But I can't tell if
it is actually a former RNZN/RNZAF a/c or if it is a former USMC/USN
a/c bought by its previous Kiwi owner. It's currently painted in VF-17
markings.
