Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this large collection of exhibits. I did not expect to enjoy this aviation display as much as I did. We went on a Thursday afternoon and for most of our slow walk through we were the only visitors- perfect COVID19 tourist conditions! The dressed mannequins were posed quite realistically and I looked twice a couple of times! ….. and it is free entry! The cafe facilities were not operating on our visit but overlook the adjacent busy airfield.

Fantastic, well presented naval aviation museum featuring the aircraft that made up Australia's Fleet Air Arm.
I believe well worth the trip to Nowra for a few hours at least, and enough interesting things in the area to make a day of it.

What a great place with so much Navy fleet arm history this is definitely a must do while your in town or close by especially now that it’s FREE entry! The whole family loved the visit and my 3 year old kept talking about it the whole trip. Definitely worth the drop in just plan to take it slowly so you can see it all definitely 2 hours at least

The display covers all the RAN's planes from the late 1940s to the end of its aircraft carrier (HMAS Melbourne) in 1982, thereafter with various helicopters.
It notably covers the RAN helicopter flight contribution to the Vietnam War, when flying with a US Army helicopter contingent. That part also included a video of RAN officers and men who flew in that war.
It is very impressive to be right up next to the various aircraft - especially the Fairy Gannett..
A note of warning. Refreshments are minimal - coffee and cakes. It has only just re-opened after being shut for about 6 months, due to COVID restrictions. Minimal book purchases, though. The major book is a case study of what the first graduates from the Naval College went on to do, in their respective naval careers.
Entry is now free.
