Hi Guys,
Some images taken over the years at MoTaT, one of New Zealand's premier aviation collections. There are some rarities here, including a Short Solent and Sunderland flying boat - the only place in the world where two big four engined Short boats can be seen together, as well as a range of Lockheed twins, including Electra, 12 (fuselage only), Hudson, Lodestar and Ventura. Great museum full of memories of crawling through open fuselages as a mischevious child. Thankfully to aid in long term preservation, the aeroplanes are undergoing restoration work and are being placed undercover, some for the first time in over forty years. A few images and a link to more below.
