Uncover the Ashburton Aviation Museum, nestled in the heart of charming Mid-Canterbury. Here lies a hidden gem showcasing one of the country’s most extensive aircraft collections, all meticulously preserved and curated by our team of dedicated volunteers. 

Amidst walls adorned with captivating photos, intricate models, prestigious medals, and captivating memorabilia. While these may seem like typical museum offerings, prepare to be astounded by the sheer quantity and uniqueness of each item.
