What incredibly poor planning! Fancing travelling to New Zealand to look at warbirds and missing Warbirds over Wanaka.

Oh well.

The Subritzkys at Dairy Flat have a Spitfire, and I think they could be restoring Brendon Deere's Spitfire, although it may still be stored in Marton.
AvSpecs at Ardmore are working on the Jerry Yagen Spitfire, and they have the ex-AFC Spitfire there as well.

The Auckland War Memorial has a Spitfire on display. MOTAT (the transport museum) doesn't have a Spitfire, in fact all the Merlins they have are stuck on a Lancaster :(

In Christchurch the RNZAF museum has a Spitfire on display and there's a plastic one at the airport.

And Wanaka has the airworthy one.

Cheers,

Brett
