Some more info on the birdcage:

And kiwi Corsairs

RNZN didn't have any aircraft (maybe a shagbat or two?), although
something like one third of the British Pacific Fleet aircrew in 1945
were New Zealanders.

Thanks for the links and info...

Picture (not a very good one) of that Corsair in Brasil, stored at one of
TAM's (a Brazilian airline, owner of the aircraft) hangar, in São Paulo...

I hope their museum will be finally opened in 2004.
