Looks like a nice museum. Lots of interesting aircraft well restored. Always liked the Mossie (DH98 Mosquito).

I went there on a beautifully sunny morning in May when I visited NZ. I was supporting someone on a holiday and as they know my interests they graciously let me take time out of their holiday to have a look. I was only able to stay a short time but was very impressed with the aircraft on display. Standing under the wing of the Sunderland impressed on me how big they were. I hope to get back there one day. I really liked New Zealand.

After a closer look at your pictures I think I may have missed some aircraft. The only plane outside I saw was a hurricane on a pole. The Sunderland I mentioned was inside, and it was a civil version. That looks like one with a turret behind the DC3. What else did I miss?

Oh great, now I have to go back to New Zealand. I was there a few times years ago, (ages) but never got a chance to go to this museum.
Looks like a nice place.
Thanks for sharing the photos !
