I had the opportunity to spend some time at this great museum 2 weeks ago. While WW1 aviation is not normally my thing this place is just amazing & is a real credit to all involved. If you're ever in the south island of New Zealand this place is a must see.

And there are no restrictions on photography or the use of tripods :) All photos were taken with my 15-85mm EFS & 7D

Oh Man! These are stunning!

Great light in #1 and a lot of drama in #2. Hard to believe that that's how it all started! Wood, Fabric and Hand-Held weapons!

Wow
These are great
I have such a hard time finding the right angle at museums and you've pulled it off great.

Good series from there! They have a lot of talent, & especially interesting is the Winter scene with the AC in the tree.

Very nice. Both excellent shots. The more I use my 15-85, the more I like it.
