Help us build a new exhibition hall for two of New Zealand’s most iconic aircraft — the Hercules and the Orion.

These irreplaceable national taonga (treasure) represent decades of service, from global humanitarian missions to vital search and rescue operations that helped keep New Zealand safe.

Both aircraft are currently in temporary storage, too large for our existing buildings and too important to remain unseen. Your support will help us create a dedicated Exhibition Hall where they can be preserved, celebrated, and shared with all New Zealanders.

Your donation will help us:

  • protect and preserve these historic aircraft
  • share their remarkable stories
  • create an engaging space for visitors and their whānau
  • deliver free education and community programmes

Be part of the journey

Your generosity will help bring this Exhibition Hall to life, protecting our heritage and inspiring future generations.
