Dazzling duchess poses for Hobbit director Sir Peter Jackson as William clambers into cockpit of vintage biplane

She's used to taking centre stage at public events where everything from her choice of designer footwear to her perfectly coiffed locks come under scrutiny.
And the Duchess of Cambridge today showed her star quality again as she posed for acclaimed film director Sir Peter Jackson on the latest stage of her New Zealand tour.   
Amid a light drizzle at the Omaka Heritage Aviation Centre, Kate turned and smiled as the Hobbit director snapped photos of her from his smartphone.
The film veteran acted as the royal couple's tour guide of sorts as he led the Duke and Duchess through his collection of vintage aircraft on Thursday afternoon.

Strolling through the static exhibition, Prince William couldn't resist trying out the cockpit of a First World War biplane.
The Duke of Cambridge climbed in and out of the cockpit of vintage biplane Sopwith Pup, with Kate looking on, at first doubtful, then laughing as he struggled to fit his long legs in the cockpit.
The second in line to the throne also took delivery of a present designed to see his son, Prince George, follow in his footsteps.
Following a tour inside the museum, Prince William was shown the biplane, which had been flown by one of New Zealand's First World War aces, Malcolm 'Mac' McGregor.
McGregor like the plane so much, he christened it 'Peggy' in honour of his sister.
He asked if it worked, while Kate peered in asking him what the different levers did
