Uiver Collection, Heritage aircraft collection in Albury, Australia
The Uiver Collection contains 286 items including archival materials, audio-visual content, and objects related to aviation history at 553 Kiewa Street in Albury.
The collection preserves the legacy of the 1934 MacRobertson International Air Race when the Dutch aircraft Uiver made an emergency landing at Albury Racecourse.
Local residents created an illuminated landing strip using car headlights, demonstrating the collaboration between townspeople to guide the distressed aircraft safely.
Managed by Albury City Council, the collection maintains historical items from 1984 to 2016, documenting the connection between European and Australian aviation.
The rescue operation involved extracting the aircraft from mud with assistance from numerous community members, strengthening international relations between Australia and Netherlands.
