I posted this at Easter, but in the wrong department.
'Scuse me, whilst I repaste it here ...
Inspired by Andrew's request for a picture of the MOTAT Mosquito, I went back today for another look around. It's a lot closer than Wings over Wanaka, with its 60,000 visitors.
I warned him that it's dark inside, but I'll post a few pictures to give the general idea. At least the Mosquito was still out the back, so that's in there, along with a stray tank that backed out of a shed.
