Camden Museum of Aviation Visit 2013

The Camden Museum of Aviation is one of the largest privately owned collections of military aircraft in the southern hemisphere with 22 aircraft, 200 engines and other military items on display.


The Camden Museum of Aviation, located on the outskirts of Sydney, is a private owned collection of military aircraft, engines and even some armour. It's not open to the public in the normal sense (ie. you can just rock up , pay an entry fee and enter) but it is possible can organise a visit.

In 2013 our modelling club organised a visit, and I've finally got around to doing the photos.

The collection contains some significant aircraft, in particular the worlds only complete Vultee  A-31 Vengeance, along with a DAP  Mk 21 Beaufighter.

The museum does have everything under cover , which is great but it does mean there was stuff in stacked everywhere and decent  photos are hard to get. I have heard they are working at reorganising the layout to better display the aircraft they have.

For more details on the museum , check out their website 

Anyway, onto the photos. Hopefully these will be of interest to you, or if modelling one of these subjects, they may be useful. These images are about 500-600kb each so loading may take some time
