Model T for airshow
A welcome arrival at Omaka Airfield last week was a vintage Ford Model 'T' truck that has been made available by the Wolfe family. The truck is to be used by the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre and the Yealands Classic Fighters Airshow for their various events and promotions.
Monday - Thursday 9am - 4.30pm
The restored truck was delivered by a team of Vintage Car Club members led by Pat Pascoe who is also a Trustee of the Omaka AHC. It is the first heritage vehicle to enter the new AHC community hangar and workshop annex where this crew, in conjunction with some Omaka-based enthusiasts, will form the loosely titled 'Omaka Motor Pool' who plan to get together once or twice a month to look after and drive the small fleet of historic vehicles operated by the museum and the airshow in order to keep them operational, and enjoy some vintage vehicle fun and social connection along the way. There are about half a dozen specialist heritage vehicles in the collection presently, most of which will be performing in one role or another at the Yealands Classic Fighters Airshow over the Easter weekend, 7-9 April!
