We offer guided tours for school groups during our weekday open days on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 12pm to 4pm, at $5 per person with a minimum of 20 per tour. http://aarg.com.au/aboutus.htm We have an extensive collection of aircraft from the 1920's through to modern day showing all of the differing types of designs and construction ie: Our collection would therefore allow children to see examples of materials, technology and designs as they evolved throughout the development of aviation, but also how they were adapted for differing roles. Wooden Biplanes Wooden Cabin monoplanes Early "all metal" airliners Early "all metal" trainers WW2 propellor driven Fighter/Bombers Korean War Aircraft Carrier aircraft (folding wings) Flying Boat Helicopters "swing nose" cargo planes four engined turboprop airliners Post War jet fighters Supersonic Jet fighters A number of our more "delicate" aircraft are behind rope barriers to avoid damage but most others are available for close approach and even "touch" to get first hand understanding of the materials and designs, Students can enter a Cockpit simulator of a 1970's Douglas DC9 TAA Jet Airliner, they can enter the cabin of the DC3, see inside the Wirraway, Boomerang, Sea Venom etc, a selection of our collection currently on display that might suit your unit work are: 1920's wood and fabric biplane similar to that flown by Amy Johnson from UK to Australia http://aarg.com.au/GipsyMoth.htm 1930's wood and fabric primary glider http://aarg.com.au/HeronGlider.htm 1930's wooden monoplane similar to that flown by Jean Mountbatten from UK to Australia/NZ http://aarg.com.au/Proctor.htm 1930's all metal airliner similar to that flown by KLM airlines in the 1934 UK to Australia air-race http://aarg.com.au/DC2.htm 1930's steel tube, fabric and aluminium trainer - first mass produced aircraft built in Australia http://aarg.com.au/Wirraway.htm 1940's twin engined WW2 Fighter/bomber from RAAF operations in New Guinea http://aarg.com.au/beaufighter.htm 1940's twin engined airliner - the famous DC3 http://aarg.com.au/DC3.htm 1940's Naval Aircraft Carrier Fighter/Bomber with folding wings - Fairey Firefly http://aarg.com.au/Firefly.htm 1950s Helicopter http://aarg.com.au/Sycamore.htm 1950's Twin Engined "swing nose" Transport/Cargo aircraft - Bristol Freighter http://aarg.com.au/freighter.htm 1950's turbojet four engined airliner - Vickers Viscount http://aarg.com.au/viscount.htm 1960s Light Aircraft - Victa Airtourer http://aarg.com.au/AirTourer.htm 1960's supersonic jet fighter - GAF Mirage http://aarg.com.au/Mirage.htm We also have engines from early 1914 and small inline engines, through radial engines of the 1930's and 1940's, the worlds first Jet engine, and many post war jet engines to see the differing engine technologies as well. http://aarg.com.au/GenetEngine.htm http://aarg.com.au/JumoEngine.htm Our website provides online aviation heritage information that may also be of use: http://aarg.com.au/Aviation%20History.htm We look forward to providing your school and students with an enjoyable and educational experience, if there are other ways we can assist in making our collection and museum of more value for your use please let us know.
