Temora Aircraft Museum Fly Day

[MrH]

The last time I was at Temora I went to the Aviation Museum.

 

The dispaly hanger had a wonderful oily smell & I was interested

 

to see that all the aircraft on display could actually fly, so I figured I should

 

check it out one day.

 

This weekend was a Fly day so I headed off late afternoon Friday to see Saturdays display.

 

It was a very professionally run set up. The flight line looked fantastic with quite a range of history lined up.

 

There was a Tiger Moth, Ryan, Auster, Steerman, Kitty Hawk, Boomerang, Canbera, Spitfire, Wirraway,

 

Catalina, Harvard, Meteor, Vampire, Sabre, & Cessna Dragonfly.

 

The commentary was excellent with a good mix of facts about the aircraft, the history as to how it ended up

 

in the museum & the part the aircraft played in history.

 

Each aircraft was started up in front of the big crowd, some of the sounds were phenominal.

 

Then they taxied off to perform there flying displays in front of the crowd.

 

At the end of each display the pilots were interviewed & they described what it was like

 

to fly these historic aircraft.

 

After the last display the crowd were given access to the flight line where you could get up close & personal & also

 

have the opportunity to speak to the pilots.

 

All up it was a most enjoyable day :thumb_up: & would suggest if you are heading up that way to check out the Events here or

 

the Museum Web page to see if a Flying weekend is on.

 

It's worth the detour.

Thanks for the report, sounds well worth a visit for those within striking distance - one day maybe.

 

You're not alone with the photos, had wanted to sneak in a few for this month's photo comp, but site wouldn't play ball. Grrrr!
