I have been meaning to post these for quite some time. The Spitfire memorial that was ‘unveiled’ at Perana Park, Hamilton, New Zealand last November.
The fibreglass replica was created from the same ex-RNZAF Museum moulds that the replica at Harewood in Christchurch, NZ, came from. The moulds were taken from TE288, the RNZAF Museum’s Spitfire Mk XVI

Cheers for that.
Did a quick ‘wild card’ search but couldn’t find it.
I .. WILL .. be re-checking the data-base at work tomorrow night.

Nice big pictures Dave. 😉
You couldn’t resize them a tad could you?

Sorry, I spelled it wrong. It is Parana Park – which is on Memorial Drive, just by the intersection with the Bridge Street bridge (Victoria Bridge). The park has the city’s Cenotaph in it, and runs along the eastern bank of the Waikato River. A nice spot. Also a feature of the park is that’s where people board the Waipa Delta riverboat cruise.

Dave,
Where is Perana Park in Hamilton???
Can’t find it in our data-base, says me with a red-face sitting in front of the NZFS Computer system..
