Fly Past

(Barry) #1
Located at historic RAAF Base
Point Cook, the birthplace
of the Royal Australian Air
Force, the RAAF Museum is
home to an amazing range of
beautifully preserved historic
military aircraft.

Here you will fi nd a treasure
trove of priceless artefacts
and fascinating stories of
past deeds, giving visitors an
understanding of the rich history
and traditions of this arm of the
Australian Defence Force.

Our Heritage Gallery incorporates multimedia technology
and hands-on experiential activities to take the visitors
through time from the Australian Flying Corps operating
during World War I through to the RAAF’s peacekeeping
and civil aid missions to the present day.

The displays are augmented by thirty historic aircraft
from the entire 97 year history of the RAAF, some of
which are maintained in fl ying condition for displays at
1:00pm every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (weather
permitting). Additionally, visitors are also treated to an
opportunity to see the Museum’s Restoration Hangar,
where staff and volunteers are currently rebuilding a
World War II Mosquito reconnaissance aircraft and a
DH60 Gypsy Moth training aircraft.

Models, books, patches, clothing and mementos can be
purchased at the Museum shop.
