Well after a hard day conferencing it was time to relax and I have been looking forward to tonight's dinner for some time.
We were headed to the MOTAT Aviation Display hall where they have amazing aircraft like the Lancaster Bomber and the impressive Sunderland Flying Boat.
As for the entertainment, and to keep with the historic mood, the "Sisters of Swing" performed for us for an hour or so. This World War II designed Blister Hangar was extensively used throughout Britain during WW II as a type of transportable aircraft hangar and was constructed of wooden or steel ribs and generally clad in steel sheets.
MOTAT's Blister Hangar was originally built for the RNZAF during World War II at Ardmore Airfield. It was in use as an aircraft hangar until it was moved to MOTAT in 1979. At MOTAT it has been used to both house aircraft in the collection and to provide an aircraft restoration workshop for our dedicated aviation volunteers.
