The museum
The museum occupies an airfield used by the Royal Australian Air Force to train pilots during the Second World War. Its historic combat and training aircraft are interpreted in relation to the people trained at Temora and Australia’s later air operations overseas.
The museum occupies an airfield used by the Royal Australian Air Force to train pilots during the Second World War. Its historic combat and training aircraft are interpreted in relation to the people trained at Temora and Australia’s later air operations overseas.
The aircraft collection concentrates on australian fighter and trainer aircraft, wartime pilot education and the preservation of operational ex-service aircraft. The official collection directory presents fourteen named aircraft. The museum also interprets forward air control in Vietnam and postwar jet operations, giving visitors a coherent view of the transition from piston engines to modern trainers.
The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
