R.E. 8

The only word for the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is "stunning" and that is by no means an overstatement! From the range of remarkable early aircraft to the presentation of the exhibits, everything is extremely high quality: it might just be significant that this is a pet project for Sir Peter Jackson, better known as the director of the "Lord of the Rings" movies and an aviation enthusiast. For more information, I would recommend visiting the Centre's website.

Built and used in large numbers, the R.E.8 carried two crew on bombing and reconnaissance missions. This aircraft is an accurate reproduction. .

Thanks, Ron. That was what appealed to me also - they had moved beyond the usual 'static' museum displays to something far more effective.
