FLYING HIGH AT RAAF MUSEUM

Members and guests of the club had an enjoyable visit to the RAAF Museum in Point Cook last Tuesday. We started with a tasty BBQ meal cooked by Roland Wade and Brain Ahmed and then a brief introduction and welcome from David Gardner who manages the museum. David stated that the Point Cook air base is about to get a $200 million facelift. New buildings will be constructed due to a decision to relocate various air force divisions to the base.

Then the tour began. David took us to several large hangars which housed many varieties of aircraft that have been used by the RAAF over the past 80 years. There were Tiger Moths and F111's and everything in between. David made it an enlightening experience with his in-depth knowledge of the history of our air force.
