WoW Classic Cars Museum, Nelson

Over the years I've been to this place a few times, but took my camera a couple of years ago for the first time. It's worth a visit if you're in this neck of the woods. There's even a small aviation contingent. The lighting in the main building is difficult, but with a bit of fiddling about, some worthwhile images can be taken.

Thanks for looking.

Nice collection. That Sabre engine was on loan to Wigram for a while, it was there in the early 1990's when I lived at the base. I once had a guide at the museum who actually flew Typhoons and/or Tempests give me a really interesting talk about the engine. The cutaways have done nothing for the engine's ability to run again but it was handy for him to demonstrate all the features. Now though I remember nothing about what he told me other than it was designed as the equivalent of two engines stuck together....
