Hidden away inside the Moorabbin Airport grounds the Air Museum is an excellent place to spend a couple of hours and easily worth the small admission charge. Staffed by a friendly and experienced group of aviation experts the museum has an amazing collection of well preserved historical aircraft, ranging from a Vickers Viscount to a beautifully restored Beaufighter. Many of the aircraft are accessible and one can settle down in the left hand seat of the cockpit and gaze across the instruments. Don't forget to check out the collection of engines featuring a Rolls Royce Merlin of Spitfire fame. Highly recommended can't wait to go again.
This is a great museum. the children can get up close to a number of aircraft and walk around some of the big planes outside. the staff are lovely and its great value for the money. what a great surprise. we'll be back. expectations need to be managed. this is very local. its not the Canberra war museum but as far as a local collection of aircraft go its great. there is a mix of civilian and military aircraft along with a TAA plane for those that remember who that was.
Anyone with an interest in aircraft should visit this museum as it offers a large display of our military and commercial aircraft.. Run by volunteers it gives a wonderful insight to our aircraft past and present.The aircraft displayed have been lovingly restored with many more in the process of restoration that were donated to the museum or found rotting in paddocks. The untiring work carried out by the volunteers is exemplary.Visit the museum at the Moorabbin Airport and see for yourself the wonderful history of Australian aircraft.View the Wirraway, Tiger Moth, Replicas of the Lady Southern Cross & Duigan Bi-plane, Auster Aiglet, Percival Proctor to mention a few. Also Jet aircraft CAC Avon Sabre, Gloster Meteor, Mirage 111, Sea venom to mention a few..Interested, for a nominal fee it's well worth the visit.Make a donation to let this museum grow or purchase books or souvenirs available at the shop.
我去这个机场作了短暂的参观,发现了墨尔本保存最为完整的珍品。这个飞行博物馆是澳大利亚最古老的航空博物馆,那是我参观过中收藏品种最多,模型最丰富的博物馆,而且每个展品前后都有着许多鲜为人知的动人故事。博物馆里有双翼飞机,还有20世纪三十年代的引擎,澳大利亚二战期间的航空器。其中包括罕见的强力对舰攻击机Beaufighter,单发双座战斗/俯冲轰炸机Wirrawy和回旋镖。也有内战时留下的飞机,像DC-3子爵引擎。博物馆的全部藏品和展品都是来自自愿者们四十多年来精心保存维护的结果。这不仅是一个单纯的飞行器仓库,听着当男人们远赴战场后,妇女们在后方制造飞机的故事,我真是感到不可思议,佩服得五体投地。门票很便宜,对于想在城市附近观光游览的人,你会在那里收获许多。
If your an warbird and vintage aviation buff, this is the place for you. I was given a very friendly and personalised guided tour, they opened many of the aircraft and cockpits for me to see, sit in and feel what these iconic aircraft were like. This in one musuem that is a "must see" place. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.Ian H
I had the pleasure of visiting this little gem with a friend who had travelled from Tassie and wanted to come and see the Beaufighter. Having worked at Avalon Air Show for the few weeks leading up to my trip, I was inspired and thirsty for more! I was lucky enough to get shown around and given a bit of extra background information from the wonderful Noel, whose time and extra efforts just made our little trip so wonderful. I'll be heading back again soon with a few others in tow and perhaps a better camera! Cheers, guys and great work on all the restorations! :)
Visited the museum on a nice sunny afternoon, really good value and a nice overview of aviation in Oz. Can even go into the cockpit of a few. Would recommend surprised it's not rated higher
We have been taking our grandson here for five years and at 8 he still loves coming here.... Picnic tables, playground and light planes and helicopters coming and going.... what more could a little man want... Also the museum is very interesting..a must see
一天下午,我带着家人来这里参观,还去了里面的航空馆。哇塞,简直太完美了,孩子们玩得乐不思蜀,看到那么多老式飞机,还进去玩了呢!
我带着家人去这个博物馆参观来着,大家都过得非常开心!就现在这个经济形势而言,门票不算贵,还有很多飞机、引擎和有趣的东西。跟其他我去过的博物馆不一样,这里能让你近距离参观,有些还可以亲密接触呢,对于了解飞机实在是太重要了,比站在围栏或者钢丝网外面参观强多了。来这里交通很方便,很适合放松,真是个美好的下午!
