Founded in 1962 and run by a dedicated group of volunteers and members, the Museum has expanded to have a collection of not just aircraft and engines, but models, uniforms and many other artefacts associated with Australia's amazing aviation history. The Museum's mission is collect, preserve and display aircraft and artefacts associated with Australian Aviation Heritage, and to educate and inspire future generations of the pathways in aviation.
The collection includes a number of 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. The Museum also owns the oldest surviving DAP / Bristol Beaufort which is now part of an ongoing restoration project.
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.
Due to a lack of available display and restoration facilities, not all aircraft are under restoration or on display. The Australian Aircraft Restoration Group has kindly loaned a number of the aircraft in its collection to other museums, to ensure that they can be viewed by aircraft enthusiasts.
