The centre section stand is being built at the moment, and more parts for the Lincoln are arriving from donors all over the world!
Sorry - the F-111 is A8-131 (doing this post at 36,000ft and missed the mistake)
All set up at the Airshow at Avalon! We are in the big tent with other museums and you can’t miss our display - outside is the Target Glider, AAC Wamira and Beaufort A9-13 nose, while indoors behind the book stands is the F-111 module A9-13.
Here until Sunday ✈️

Todays pics - inside the rear centre fuselage - the large, arch in centre believed to be a modification to support mounting of aerofoils above when doing icing trials.
Pretty spectacular construction all around ✈️
Cars have been arriving since 8am! Weather is holding and people are already enjoying the mix of - Wings and Wheels!
A remarkable donation arrived this week. 8 rolls of 16mm film dating back to 1937 and some bromides, two below
Image #1 - Supermarine Southampton MK1, A11-2 during an exercise likely at Point Cook. 1929 to 1934
Image #2 - Fariey IIID landing, again likely Pt Cook around 1924

Marching towards 30% - great momentum, keep the ball rolling, everyone is doing a fantastic job 🙏✈️
Got under cover to get shots of the centre section, great to see tanks in there - it’s incredible engineering Last photo shows part of one of the wings - undercover and safe 😎

Please share or donate if you can - we are past 20%
Yesterday a small crew began the heavy duty task of stripping the paint from the mid rear fuselage of the Lincoln. Such is the interest and enthusiasm from almost everybody that we decided to get things really going!
gofund.me/5fae7564 only $5 from hitting 20% of target in two days! Who’s in?
Here’s a thought - if the 755 people who liked the announcement about the Lincoln on FB chipped in $5 ea we would be near 45% of target - it’s that easy!
This is an internal shot of the centre section & it’s in pretty good condition given it’s age

What a weekend! Despite the weather throwing everything at us, we had just under 2,000 visitors get in and out of the largest assembly of open cockpits at the Museum to date!
What a great reel from This is Kingston! You can get a real feel of what happens at the Museum!
