The Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) flew one of its four Kaman SH-2F Seasprite anti submarine warfare helicopters for the first time, from Hobsonville Airfield on 24 February. The SH-2Fs will be used to replace the RNZN's obsolete Westland Wasps until the arrival of SH-2G Super Seasprites now on order. The Super Seasprite was selected in preference to the GKN Westland Super Lynx.
