Whites Aviation historic aerial photo collection coming to Taupō Museum

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

A collection of original hand-coloured aerial photographs from the early 1950’s onwards will soon be on display at Taupō Museum.

The exhibition ‘Scenic Splendour’ will feature black-and-white historical aerial and scenic images of Taupō and New Zealand. These photographs were taken by Whites Aviation Ltd and hand-coloured by the Whites colouring team, a group of women who painted each photograph.

The exhibition combines photographs from the Taupō Museum collection, with others on loan from Chris Johnston from his collection at Replete Café and Store.

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
