RAAF Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Located at RAAF Base Williams Point Cook, the RAAF Museum is the official museum of the Royal Australian Air Force, the second oldest air force in the world. The museum displays aircraft of significance to the RAAF from its inception as the Australian Flying Corps to the present. At the direction of Air Marshal Sir George Jones, the RAAF Museum was formed in 1952 and fell under the administration of Headquarters Point Cook until 1988 when it became a separate unit of the RAAF.

The museum conducts an interactive flying display at 1pm (1300) every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday for visitors. Aircraft include the museum's own CA-18 Mustang, CAC Winjeel, CT4A Trainer, DH Tiger Moth and Sopwith Pup along with visiting aircraft from other museums and operators.

[edit] Entry

Entry to the museum is free. The operating hours are Tuesday to Friday 10am - 3pm, Weekends and Public Holidays 10am - 5pm. The museum is closed on Mondays, Christmas Day, and Good Friday.
