G'day all
Last week concluded my 6 day getaway to Melbourne. My goal was to embark on a journey to learn about the history of Australian Aviation and to get a greater understanding and appreciation for it, and I certainly walked away with that! In summary, managed to visit the following: -The Airways Museum, Essendon Airport -Melbourne Centre and ATC (Arranged through a contact) -RAAF Museum, Point Cook -The Australian National Aviation Museum, Moorabbin -TAA Museum, Airport West -The Old Aeroplane Company, Tyabb Additionally, also visited the Puckapunyal Tank Museum as well. Was booked to go on a DC-3 Flight to King Island on the Sunday, but this flight got canceled due to technical issues with the aircraft. Am getting through my photo collection, and would like to share a few samples of it, the rest can be found on my Flickr account. Enjoy! :) Airways Museum - Essendon Airport http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6044/...ae99953c68.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6050/...1eeed3d84b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5274/...dbb29444f0.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5196/...0012c80fce.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5313/...29fab800e2.jpg Rest can be viewed here.

Thank you for sharing these images Maikha, some great shot in there. All of the locations you visited have plenty to see.

Thanks Grahame! Indeed all locations had plenty to see, and taught me a lot in terms of history as well!

Great shots Maikha. I didn't realise there was so much to see in Melbourne!
|
Great photos Maikha!

Thanks Greg and Brock!
I'm surprised of the amount of history that's been preserved in Victoria, of all modes of transport from Aviation, to railways to even maritime! If I were to basically count, there's more aviation museums, tourist railways, vintage aircraft charter flights and heritage vessels in Victoria than my home state. Looks like a few trips are needed to cover them all like I desire to eventually! :) |
