A great place to revisit Australian Defence history from aircraft to helicopters. Well presented through succinct descriptions of each aircraft's role and history.
We visited as a group of about 60 ex-navy personnel with spouses. When we joined the RAN in 1963 this museum did not exist. It is well laid out, with excellent exhibits providing accurate and interesting information. We were there for 2 hours and needed longer, with many of the group having to be hunted out to the Flight Deck Café for our booked lunch, which was well catered.
The Fleet Air Arm Museum is an interesting place showcasing the military history and might of the area with interactive displays, well laid out and interesting displays and exhibits, the helicopter simulator was a lot of fun and we spent a good 2 hours there going through everything. Add to that the runway outside where you can see takeoffs and landings throughout the day. Good café too and this place is worth your time to visit.
We were expecting our young kids (12, 10, 8 & 5) to be pretty bored but they didn't stop the whole time we were there. Plenty to see for adults and kids. The helicopter simulator was fantastic for the kids as well. Would definitely come back again in the future to look at it all again
The information, photos and gallery was very informative. Kids and parents had great time. The gift shop had excellent choices.
A very well organised museum that is easy to navigate. An extensive and informative display of Australian military history and we were pleased to have visited.
