The Australian National Aviation Museum
Welcome to the Australian National Aviation Museum. Situated at Moorabbin Airport in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the Museum has one of the most magnificent collections of aircraft and engines in Australia.
Founded in 1962 and run by a dedicated group of volunteers and members, the Museum has expanded to have an collection of not just aircraft and engines, but models, uniforms and many other items associated with Australia's aviation history.
The collection has some very rare and unique examples of Australian made aircraft including the oldest surviving Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) aircraft - Wirraway A20-10; a Victa AirTourer and a DAP Mk21 Beaufighter, one of only two Australian made variants left in the country and the only Beaufighter left in the world capable of ground running an engine. The Museum also owns the oldest surviving Beaufort Bomber which is now a massive restoration undertaking.
The Museum also has a shop and kiosk facility where you can purchase drinks, snacks, and pick up a book, poster, model kit or complete aircraft model for your collection.
Please use the contact page for any queries, and also for details on how to find the Museum. If you have any parts from aircraft particularly (but not always) from the WW2 era, we would love to hear from you.
Group tours can be arranged by appointment. Please contact the Museum for more information.
