The Heritage Centre is located on the actual RAAF Amberley air base, so there is quite strict security to get through and you will need current and valid picture ID to get in. Check out their website for open day dates and entry rerquirements.
Once you get in, the Heritage Centre is a real cracker! Located in a cluster of four vintage Bellman hangars, along with a couple of ancilliary structures, is a significant collection of ex-RAAF aircraft (along with a ring-in or two), engines, ground equipment and information displays. The volunteers and servicepeople who run the centre are most informative and ready to answer your questions.
Significant items on display at RAAF Anberley Aviation Heritage Centre include:
Skorsky Blackhawk (Pinched back from Army, I assume!)CAC Boomerang
Douglas Boston
English Electric Canberras
