Ashburton Aviation Museum
Ashburton Aviation Museum
470 Seafield Rd, Elgin 7772
Date of visit: 2nd March 2017
Ashburton has a strong aviation history, being a training base in World War 2. 50 Tiger Moths were based there. The original tarmac and tie-down rings are still present to this day, which helped to secure the aircraft from Mid Canterbury’s strong nor-west winds. Over 30 aircraft are on display in the two museum buildings, with more in the workshop.
