To all the Flying Boat enthusiasts and Aviation supporters around the world.
Please support this great cause and fill in the petition to restore the Aranui
The Arauni has been currently worked on by skilled tradesmen under the guidance of a highly qualified Museum conservator.
As from 24 October 2014 all the good work that has been done by this team will come to a halt. It is a lost opportunity that will result in the quality of the restoration been compromised.

The Short S. 45 Solent MK IV ZK-AMO Aranui flying boat arrived Auckland Harbour on its last service September 15 1960. The aircraft is the last of the big flying boats built specifically as a civilian airliner for regular passenger services.
New Zealand has the last remaining short Solent MK IV left in the world.
The Aranui is housed and on display at the Aviation Display Hall at the Museum of Transport and Technology (Motat) in Auckland.
ZK AMO is Named "Aranui" Maori for main pathway

Thank you World for your tremendous support
