MOTAT Museum of Transport and Technology visit

 MOTAT is a interesting museum in the heart of Auckland city and I decided on the 12th September 2026 to eventually visit the aviation collection except the reserve collection in the adjacent hangar which is off limits to all public !!!

At a cost of NZ$19 ,it covers not just the aircraft collection but entry to the other areas of the transport museum .

Here is a current record of the collection on view to the public
