New Zealand Defence Force

EX- RNZAF Strikemaster Airframes

The New Zealand Defence Force seeks to donate two surplus Strikemaster airframes (ex-NZ6375 and ex-NZ6376) to suitable NZ-Based organisations for future public display or similar public benefit. 

Post retirement from RNZAF service in 1994, the airframes were used as training aids at the RNZAF’s Ground Training Wing, RNZAF Base Woodbourne, Blenheim.

Following a change in training requirements the airframes have been sitting unused and in outside storage for some years. They are in poor, but recoverable, cosmetic condition. They are not deemed airworthy.

Any donation would be on the conditions that:
- The donation is ‘as is, where is’, with no representation of warranty or airworthiness.  
- Respondents will have the opportunity to inspect the aircraft.
- There are no maintenance records associated with the aircraft available.
- The removal will be at recipient’s cost and risk.
- NZDF would expect recipients to display the aircraft in a manner befitting of their historical importance.

NZDF are running an open and contestable process to select the organisations that will receive the Strikemaster airframes.

The Registration of Interest is available by emailing DisposalTenders@nzdf.mil.nz.

The Registration of Interest closes on 30 June 2026.
