Is there anything to do in Wellington NZ
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

My son is leaving later this week for a short business trip to Wellington NZ. He will be there for several days and is curious if there is anything he should see while there. Also if there are any AFVs that he should try and get pictures of he will try. Any suggestions? _________________ Bob Smart ([email protected])

First off, wikitravel is a good place to start. wikitravel.org/en/Wellington Secondly, in terms of AFVs, the New Zealand Army Museum is most likely the best place to go. www.armymuseum.co.nz/visit-us/ Neil

Looks like the Army museum... I think Military Machines International, or Classic Military Vehicles just had a piece on it... Neil
