RAN FAA Museum

HMAS Albatross, Nowra, New South Wales

Located at the Royal Australian Naval Air Station Albatross, it is the RAN’s official Air Museum. Some years ago it underwent a major redevelopment that saw the facilities expanded and improved. One of the big improvements is a new two-storey display area. The museum is one of the premium collections and displays in Australia. The exhibits are beautifully presented and in excellent condition. The information boards throughout are informative. The museum is airey and light and a very pleasant environment in which to view this outstanding collection. The collection itself is most comprehensive with all major types operated by the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm represented, to the extent that an A-4 was sources from the US as no original RAN birds could be located.
