Very nice. Like the Spit with the gear up. I've seen that captured japanese field gun before here on the forum. And had to laugh, one guy must have donated his tinnie collection
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Thank you Anderson.
That is a great looking museum with some wonderful displays.
I couldn't think of a better way to kill 4 hours!!!

Sir Keith Park personally flew that Spitfire out from Britain after the war. Camp Hale that was sited outside the Museum (which was built 1925) between 1942-44 was a US Marine Corp camp.

Thanks for posting these images Anderson. Looks like a great collection. My partner is from Auckland and we plan to go over next year so it will definitely be on the agenda. Her grandfather fought at Gallipoli (he must have been very young when he went and old when he had her mother).
