Join me on a tour of the amazing WWI Fighter Plane collection at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre in Blenheim. Photos can't do justice to this world class, in fact world leading, display of WWI aircraft. Peter Jackson and Weta Workshop have made full use of their prodigious talents here. Enjoy. (Note there are 2 pages - 1,2 - above the second photo.)
The Bird Plane
A fantastic machine, the most bird-like plane ever built. The pilot sits behind the gunner/navigator. Note the exhaust pipes coming off the manifold right under his nose!
