Another View of SAANZ at Ashburton (2)

A feature of holding the SAANZ flyin at Ashburton is the Ashburton Aviation Museum whose facilities the Sport Aircraft Association uses, and whose volunteers help run the flyin.  The Ashburton Aviation Museum volunteers have also constructed a replica of the control tower that was used on the airfield in WW 2, which is pretty neat.

The control tower looks very impressive

 

and it offered a great view over the SAANZ aircraft that were parked.  This was later in the afternoon when some aircraft had left and some other had gone on fly outs.

And for something completely different - this Polish marked MIG 17 was parked by the tower (along with the Harrier).
