Ranks and Uniform
RNZAF rank titles and uniform remain similar to those of the RAF. All personnel wear the nationality mark "NEW ZEALAND" on the Rank Slide which is worn on the shoulder, and until early 2010 on a sewn-on shoulder title on the dress uniform. Since 2010 the shoulder identifier says "ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE", this was to correct a perceived confusion with the uniform of the New Zealand Police, despite many other more obvious differences.
