NZ WW1 museum

Mr. Proachpoint
Can you send any pictures? I volunteer at a WW1 and WW2 museum here in Denver, Colorado, USA.
It was started by Doctor Parks and his son Andy now runs it. Luckily due to a very gracious benefactor we are acquiring and expanding.
We have a few Richtofen items. His 11th victim was a RAF pilot named Hawker. Hawker being the first RAF ace. Richtofen landed next to the Hawker's crashed aircraft and souveniered some of the aircraft and some personal items, including his bible and handkerchief. We have those two items. Also have Hawker's uniform.
I am planning a trip to your area sometime in the future and sounds like I must add this museum to my schedule.
