Members of this forum may be interested in viewing the New Virtual Tour on the website of the Australian National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin


http://www.aarg.com.au/Default.htm

The Australian National Aviation Museum (Moorabbin Air Museum), is located at Moorabbin Airport near Melbourne Victoria and is recognised as Australia’s only true National Aviation Museum.

Australian National Aviation Museum

Owned and operated by the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, a not for profit Company, limited by Guarantee, the collection was established in 1962, and is the oldest volunteer Aviation Museum in Australia.

Over the last 40 years, the museum has saved a number of significant examples of Australia's aviation heritage, and with nearly 50 aircraft on display, in storage or under restoration, the Museum is one of the largest in Australia.

The Australian National Aviation Museum contains the finest collection of Australian made and designed aircraft, as well as the broadest collection with representative types covering the development of air travel and military aviation.

Folks,


After much cursing and gritting of teeth the Virtual Tour of the Australian National Aviation Museum has been reinstated bigger and better after a 12 month rest.

(Note: These images arise from 2004 and are not up to date with current displays)

For those interested the Virtual Tour is accessible from the link on the front page of the museum website

http://aarg.com.au

(I know there are some page alignment problems that will be rectified over the next week)

for those operating Internet Explorer from Windows XP you may need to upload a Java Plugin as Microsoft no longer pack Java in its windows system, a link is provided on the virtual tour help page.

For those interested, some new photos of the museum's restoration of its P40E A29-53 are located here:
