Britten V1000

So many photos, so little time! I’ll have to work on most of the photos when we get back home.

Today I visited Te Papa – the NZ National Museum in Wellington. There was only one reason for me to go there – the Britten V1000. Only ten of these exist in the world, but I was lucky enough to see them racing back in the early 90’s at Ruapuna in Christchurch. Any opportunity to see these in the flesh should be taken – they are a piece of art & a wonder of engineering. Even moreso considering that they were designed & built in a back yard!
