Having seen this place advertised as one of the best museums in the world and it being only a short detour off the main road, we went for a visit.
Turns out it is largely funded and stocked by Sir Peter Jackson (director Lord of the rings) and set up by a production company ( which we suspect was also the folk from LotR).
We got a tour from a chap called Bunty, a Kiwi WWII fighter pilot who was ace. In summary it is a lot of old planes, both originals that still fly and replicas set up wonderfully and often with an associated story. It will be difficult to do it justice in words so here are some of the pics....
