A Fascinating Glimpse Into The Golden Age Of Air Travel ✈️

I’ve always had a passion for aviation and its history so had to stop off at the classic flyers museum in NZ on my recent trip for Chinese new year. Located close to the mount at the old Tauranaga Airport the museum and cafe is a great spot to check out if you’re in the local area, I was really impressed. The museum has a main hanger and then smaller hangers outside that double up as restoration workshops. The outdoor area also has static displays of old military and civilian airplanes. For such a small town I was really impressed by the scale of this place. The main hanger has displays of military and civilian aircraft along with educational displays about airlines, military conflict and general aviation throughout New Zealand’s history. I was particularly interested in the amount of memorabilia and vintage items that had from New Zealand’s various airlines over time and found this super informative! It was around £8 entry and totally worth it, we learned so much about aviation here and got lots of nice photos. #celebrateit #history #travel #aviation #newzeland #newzealand #northisland #museums #myitinerary
