I visited with my gardening club!! It was very interesting and well laid up with very knowledgeable volunteers. A plane mad grandchild would be in heaven.

NZ Warbirds have developed a great facility at Ardmore airport...an hour out of Auckland set in lovely countryside and well worth the visit. We live nearby and are so lucky to have this onhand....a great range of WW1 and WW2 aircraft...lovingly restored and in flying condition. There are two busy hangars and volunteer guides on hand to tell you the stories behind the aircraft...and a photographic gallery that brings it all to life. The plans are beautiful, and on open days there are air shows and other events to enjoy. We loved our recent visit and its firmly on our visitors calendar...Top recommend...:)

Incredible place to visit, such a rare opportunity to see these aircraft flying. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and took time to escort us to a second hanger full of working WWI aircraft. The Harvard’s, Spitfire and Isaacs Fury all flew. There’s a cafe at the airfield for coffee and lunch. Highly recommended visit.

Visited the museum with my partner to see in particular the ex RNZAF A4K SKYHAWK for research purposes.
I was extremely impressed with the guide that we had who afforded us large amounts of time to view the aircraft and allowed for the taking of multiple photographs to allow me to build a scale model of the former RNZAF fighter.
Well worth the trip and excellent collection of real and scale model aircraft.
The staff were brilliant and we will definitely go back

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience online. We are very grateful that we are able to look after one of the historic A4 Skyhawks that served with the RNZAF and glad that you came to view it especially.
Hope to see you again soon.
