This is my 14th visit to the Temora Aviation Museum since January 2004 and it is just as exciting now as it was back then. In the past, flying days were held every eight to ten weeks and included most of the Museum's collection. Now they now fly twice a month in a completely new format titled Aircraft Showcase Days where they fly two or three of the Museum’s aircraft and showcase them in detail.
On this visit the Lockheed Hudson, the Spitfire Mk VIII and Allan Arthur’s P-40 Kittyhawk were on display.
