AIR FORCE MUSEUM AIR FORCE MUSEUM Welcome to the Christchurch Air Force Museum The Air Force Museum of New Zealand is the national museum for the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and New Zealand military aviation, and stands on the site of the former air base at Wigram, Christchurch. The Air Force Museum of New Zealand had its origins in the RNZAF Historical Centre, established at RNZAF Base Wigram in 1976. This was a small-scale, part-time venture, until 1981 when a formal Air Force Order established the RNZAF Museum as an official Air Force unit, staffed by uniformed Air Force personnel. 03 343 9532 info@airforcemuseum.co.nz Visit Website	FERRYMEAD HERITAGE PARK FERRYMEAD HERITAGE PARK Welcome to Ferrymead Heritage Park Ferrymead Heritage Park Christchurch features an early 1900s (Edwardian) township and the park has a variety of restored cottages plus a school house, church and businesses which reflect the period and allow visitors to experience life for the early residents of Christchurch including the smell of a coal range and the sounds of a tram rattling past the door.
