The Arthur Butler Museum committee at Tooraweenah NSW, invites all and sundry to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the completion of Arthur Butler's record solo flight from England to Australia over the weekend of the 12/13th November 2022. Organisation is in its early stages, but it is hoped that toilet and showering facilities will be available for those who would like to camp out under starry skies. The committee is looking into arranging motor tours of the Warrumbungle Mountains and some interesting local businesses. A celebration dinner is planned for Saturday night, with a recovery breakfast at the airport on Sunday morning.

The event runs Saturday 2nd July and Sunday 3rd July, 10:00AM to 4:00PM. This is a ticketed event and it has staggered entry times to avoid long entry lines from forming. When you book your tickets please make note of the entry time, and please arrive anytime within that hour. You are then welcome to stay as long as you like. Entry times are staggered to hourly start times, on the hour, during the day. There will be lots of special activities and giveaways on the day. Some of the Museums "experiences" will be open on the day, and can be added to your ticket at purchase time. Please note that spots for those experiences are limited, and need to be secured by purchasing tickets ahead of time. Experiences operating are: Bomber Command Virtual Reality (10 spots available) Lancaster Tour (2 spots available. 10:00AM and 1:00PM) Prices range from $15 entry fee for 1 adult ($10 concession - Senior or Pensioner) to $35-$40 for a family group (dependent on number of children), to an adult group of 4 for $50. Children under 5 are free entry. The Bomber Command VR experience is $25 additional, and the personalised Lancaster Tour is $125. For this tour, you get to closely inspect the exterior and interior, and you find out what it's like to crawl over the two wing spars, sit in the wireless operator’s seat, and touch the navigator’s desk. https://aviationmuseumwa.org.au/community-family-weekend/

The basic idea is to fly 100 aeroplanes over Point Cook, home of the RAAF, the Shrine of Remembrance, and over Melbourne. Technically, this will not be a formation of 100. In fact, we might not be able to find 100 formation-endorsed pilots and suitable aircraft. The event is best described as a Balbo, or an Air Armada. This means there will be multiple smaller formations working together to fly a large number of aircraft over Melbourne in the same timeframe. Refer https://www.100aeroplanes.org
