Hurricane

Today we visited the Omaka aircraft museum near Blenheim. This is a great collection of aircraft from WWI with the exhibits arranged in lifelike dioramas.

Outside are a couple of aircraft from WWII including this RAF hurricane. Peter Jackson is a collector of vintage aircraft and is heavily involved in running this museum.

The rumour is that eventually the museum will expand with a new hangar to house WWII aircraft. the centrepiece will be a full sized replica Lancaster bomber that has been made for the Dambusters remake.  Posted by Picasa
