Temora Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Temora, Australia
Description
Temora Aviation Museum holds a collection of historic military aircraft that still fly, including two operational Spitfires and the world's only flying Lockheed Hudson bomber. The facility also offers three flight simulators that let visitors experience what it felt like to pilot a Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, or P-40 Kittyhawk.
History
The Royal Australian Air Force opened a training school here in 1941, where more than 2,400 pilots trained during World War II. This legacy shaped the site into a center for preserving Australian military aviation history.
Culture
The museum recognizes the Wiradjuri people as the original inhabitants of this land, reflecting their ongoing connection to the place. Visitors can sense this cultural presence when walking through the grounds where military training once shaped the region's identity.
Practical
The flight simulators are easy to locate and clearly marked throughout the grounds so you can find them without difficulty. The site is compact enough to explore all the display areas in a single visit.
Did you know?
The museum regularly holds Aircraft Showcase events where historic planes fly live for the public to watch. These demonstrations reveal that the collection consists of working machines still taking to the air, not just objects on display.
