RAAF museum, Bull Creek, Perth, Western Australia

[skypirate]

I visited this museum last month. It is mostly famous for the only other Lancaster in Australia (other than 'G' for George at the Canberra War Memorial), and more recently for its latest acquisition: Tornado GR.4, ZG791. The Lancaster is an ex-Aeronavale B.VII, NX622.

Gate guard - a replica Spitfire XVIe. Actually had me fooled, the moulding is so detailed!



Very squeezy inside; hard to get full-view photos of anything.

The Lancaster.



Sporting twin 50s in both these turrets.



The Tornado in accommodation that was still under construction. (An ex-RAAF F/A-18A joined it a week later).



Spitfire 22.



ARDU Huey.



Anson.



There's some nice detail for the new 1/48 kit.



F-111C cockpit. (Crew module only)

Plenty of scale models distributed throughout the museum.



Thanks for looking! Well worth a visit!
