Spitfire airplane inside Auckland War Memorial

Friday Fotos – Spitfire inside Auckland War Memorial

September 6, 2019 By Terry

This complete World War II Spitfire was brought into the Auckland War Memorial Museum through the roof. It was donated to the museum by Sir Keith Park, a commander who helped defend London during the war. This particular plane never saw combat, but others like it were flown by many New Zealanders in the war. Many Americans do not realize the important part New Zealand played in the war, nor how many of them died. The Auckland War Memorial Museum commemorates the sacrifices made by New Zealanders and others throughout history in their efforts to defend freedom.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
