I am pretty sure that Australian naval aircrew operated the fairey firefly on HMAS Melbourne and Sydney during the Korean war in independent RAN squadrons.
HMAS Sydney III had 816 and 817 Squadrons operating 50 of the AS.5/AS.6 variant. Although I believe this is already in the tree.
Heres some photos of them operating from HMAS Sydney from the sea power website:

As @Ogaly_Bogaly has pointed out, I have already got a Firefly in the tech tree. The Article XV squadron aircraft were others, like the Hurricane, or the Gladiator.
I added the additional A-4K for New Zealand as a premium.
Now, does anyone happen to have more detailed information on the secondary weapons of a GAF Nomad? It says 6 hardpoints, 500lb each, for rocket pods and 7.62mm miniguns. Does anyone have specifics of what can go on each hardpoint? A flight manual or something? As I said earlier, I am thinking about just adding some extra stuff even if it’s a little whacky or redundant, and I’d like to start with the Nomad but I can’t find definitive proof of the weaponry.

Just a very small update, but I found a newspaper article that actually states the rate of climb for our Nene powered Vampires at 24.4m/s. Trove is a treasure.
I decided to add the RNZAF F-16 anyway, I checked that having the made payments on it made it eligible. It seems unlikely to me that if an ANZAC tree gets to exist in the future it would be added, but it’s there in the suggestion now anyway.

I made a suggestion for the F-16s uhhh about 2 years ago? It was denied for it never being in service
Edit: I made the suggestion because at the time British top tier was just the F-4M/K, yet Japan had the F-16AJ and Russia had the yak-141 so being denied for that reason was hilarious
