Australian Aviation Museum

Australian Aviation Museum

The Australian Aviation Museum is located at Bankstown Airport in Sydney. Opened in 1994, it showcases Australia's rich aviation history and future directions, as well as highlighting Australian aviation technology, its significant historical role on the world stage, and the contributions it has made internationally.

The museum displays a large number of aircraft and other aviation equipment, many of which were manufactured right at Bankstown Airport. It also houses some rare aircraft, such as the world’s only Fawcett 120, which was built in Bankstown in 1931. In addition to aircraft, the collection includes radios, navigation sextants, drift meters, maps, button compasses, as well as uniforms and helmets worn by pilots of both military and civilian aircraft. The museum is open to the public every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00. Visitors are welcome.
