The Australian National Aviation Museum houses a substantial collection of over 50 civil and military aircraft, including several rare and locally significant types. Its exhibits chart the evolution of aviation in Australia from early pioneering designs through to the jet age, with many aircraft undergoing active restoration. Largely volunteer-run, the museum offers an informative and accessible insight into the country’s aviation heritage.
The Moorabbin Air Museum is an aviation museum at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1962 as the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, in an attempt to maintain a World War II-era Bristol Beaufighter aircraft. It has since become a museum, with a large aircraft collection. It was known as the Australian National Aviation Museum up until October 2021. As of 2021 it held nearly 60 aircraft and 25 engines.
