Reportedly operated by 9S at the time of this photo. This is former RAF aircraft NX665 that operated with the French navy from 1951 until 1964, first in northern Africa, later in the Pacific. It is now preserved in Auckland, NZ, in standard RAF colour scheme and markings. Location Wellington is not 100% sure.
