The day we visited the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre was a national holiday, Waitangi Day. This day is celebrated every year on 6 February, and marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In that year, representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Māori chiefs signed what is often considered to be New Zealand’s founding document.
Outside the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre we photographed a local military re-enactment group in full custom and performing a WWII re-enactment.
