The workshop

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.

This display setting with mannequins contains an original American-made Thomas Morse Scout, used as a US training aircraft late in WW1.

The mannequins are a little spooky - you could imagine them coming to life at night and messing about in the workshop.

Nice one George. I love the wooden prop with it's beautiful twisting form and attached brasswork. I have a prop blade from a WW2 Hurricane. They make great interior design pieces, though good to see this one safely looked after at this exhibition.
