Talking Taonga

Learn all about the history and stories behind some of our most iconic aircraft – the C-47 Dakota and the Bell UH-IH Iroquois from the people who flew and operated them.

Join our volunteer guides for our Talking Taonga series, where they will talk you through their history and service. Each talk is free and you’re welcome to come and listen and ask any questions you may have.
