TO MOST people, Peter Jackson is the Oscar-winning director from New Zealand who brought the Lord of the Rings universe from the pages of JRR Tolkien's tomes to the silver screen.
However, to those who watch the skies, Peter Jackson is also known for his large collection of both restored and replica vintage aircraft – specifically both British and German fighters from World War 1.
