The somewhat misty seventy-first dawn parade at the Auckland Memorial Museum started the most beautiful Anzac weather I can remember. For the first time an Ozzie flag went up alongside the Kiwi flag and the Ozzie anthem was sung as well. The turnouts have been increasing steadily over the last ten or so years with many kids wearing their granddad’s and great granddad’s medals.
The mist prohibited a Herc from doing a fly-by and appears to have prohibited a Huey from staying in the air. Not a good start for the RNZAF.
