‘She’ll be Lovely’: Restoring a Piece of Aviation History

Get ready to soar into history at Tuku 25 Whakatū! Join us on April 13, 2025, at the Granary at Founders Heritage Park for ‘She’ll be Lovely’: Restoring a Piece of Aviation History!

The Bristol Freighter, a true kiwi icon, has been polished up and brought back to life thanks to a crew of passionate volunteers fueled by coffee, Tim Tams, and a whole lot of love for aviation. Come celebrate their epic efforts with morning tea, hear their behind-the-scenes stories, and get up close to this freshly refurbished beauty! 

It’s free, but spots are limited—RSVP by April 9 to Ari.Edgecombe@ncc.govt.nz. Bring your aviation enthusiasm and let’s salute this high-flying community triumph together!
