Australian Fleet Air Arm Museum

　　The Australian Fleet Air Arm Museum is situated in New South Wales, Australia, inside the aviation club at HMAS Albatross naval air station. It is a military aviation aircraft museum. Originally named the Australian Aviation Museum, it came under the ownership and management of the Royal Australian Navy in 2006 and was subsequently renamed the Australian Fleet Air Arm Museum.

　　Although efforts to preserve the naval aviation history related to Australia began in 1974, the museum did not open to the public until the 1990s. It houses a collection of 34 aircraft and helicopters that represent the history of the Fleet Air Arm, the naval aviation branch of the Royal Australian Navy, as well as other aircraft significant to Australian aviation history. The collection also includes memorabilia related to Australian aircraft carriers. Noteworthy aircraft on display include the PBY Catalina, A-4 Skyhawk, C-47 Dakota, Fairey Gannet, S-2 Tracker, MiG-15, MiG-17, UH-1 Iroquois, and Westland Wessex helicopters. The museum is open to visitors every day except public holidays.
