A few random shots

The one thing that N. Zealanders manage with excellence are their museums. They are normally interactive & have a childrens section set aside to make build or draw.

The first are aviation pics from MOTAT, Museum of Transport & Technology in Auckland. It is deadicated to Sir Keith Park

There was also a section dedicated to every UK airfield & pics of every squadron of WWII & a section for the Fleet Air Arm

Thank you Mayfly. Wedgy kindly drew my attention to this and for which I am very grateful. Great pictures and it is good to know that MOTAT is dedicated to the memory of Sir Keith Park. Thank you for the link. I can now look into this in more detail.
