After WW1 Lawrence Of Arabia Had A 'Love Affair' With Brough Motorcycles
You can see one of these colanders at Das Bunker
'Das Bunker' is collector Andy Wickens' personal military museum, and for anyone interested in military memorabilia it's worth a stop if you're in the Kapiti Coast area, just north of New Zealand's capital city Wellington.
Just a part of the collection at Das Bunker. We sometimes wonder how Andy managed to get this 20mm Oerlikon gun into his museum! Photo: © Historical Aviation Film Unit
Part of the Das Bunker arms collection. Andy makes a conscious effort to recover and preserve as much New Zealand history as possible. Some time ago when the New Zealand Defence Force were retiring their Sig pistols and Steyr rifles from service, Das Bunker made sure to obtain at least one of each to save some of this military history from the grinder!

In this video Andy talks about his museum and collection, and discusses how and why German helmets from the Second World War were transformed into kitchen colanders after the war.
