Bristol Freighter Motel (NZ)

For those of you who like aircraft and who intend travelling to New Zealand, I can highly recommend staying at a place called Woodlyn Park (woodlynpark.co.nz) near the spectacular Waitomo Caves. Woodlyn Park has a number of very high quality units including the "Hobbit Motel" (very spacious, good quality and highly recommended ); the "Bristol Freighter/Airplane Motel" (apparently one of the last Allied aircraft out of Vietnam); a "Rail Car Motel" and a "Boat Motel" (The Waitanic), currently under construction.

This location is truly one where you can spend a couple of days relaxing ...

Ha, that's pretty cool.
We used to have a restaurant in an old Constellation.

That Bristol-170-Freighter is fast becoming a rare ol' beast

So glad to see it being 'looked-after'

Here's one waiting for future times.........?
