urviving RNZAF aircraft

Former RNZAF aircraft are preserved in private ownership with warbird collectors and in small numbers in museums throughout New Zealand, and places New Zealand aircraft have operated. The largest collections are at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum in Christchurch and the Museum of Transport and Technology Auckland, (together they own more aircraft than the RNZAF itself). Some have been sold to other airforces, who continue to operate them. Some Bristol Freighters and CT4s are used commercially. On the list of all RNZAF aircraft, where the aircraft is still serving, (current) appears, with the exception of aircraft in the historic flight. Where an ex RNZAF aircraft is known to have survived substantially intact somewhere, or an identical machine is in a New Zealand Museum, (survivor) appears. Obviously in some cases (e.g. the Harvards and Tiger Moths), large numbers have survived and remain in regular use. A list of aircraft held by RNZAF Museum appears underneath.

Notes

Aircraft which are known only by number (e.g. de Havilland DH4) - are listed by number, but not prefix, (i.e. under 4, not DH). The total number of aircraft of the type owned or operated by the NZPAF, RNZAF or RNZN are listed to the left. No numbers are given for RAF (NZ) squadrons, due to lack of information. No information is given about several aircraft captured by New Zealand forces, but not given a serial number, due to lack of information, (thus it is known a Mitsubishi Jake seaplane was captured and flown, but it is not listed). Unusual circumstances are noted in brackets (e.g. 4 Mosquitoes crashed on delivery flights, aircraft lost on delivery flight, 28 F-16s returned to vendor). Where aircraft have different names but are virtually identical they are retained under their names but the other name is mentioned in brackets. (The classic example is the Vildebeest and Vincent, as some New Zealand Vildebeest received the additional features of RAF Vincents prior to delivery, making the two types completely indistinguishable).
