Benalla Aviation Museum

Benalla Aviation Museum - Tiger Moth Feature

Our previous home

Our previous home at Wangaratta was taken over by a large company involved in the restoration of "War birds". The volunteers of the Air Museum relocated with the assistance of Benalla Rural City Council to the current site at the Benalla Aerodrome in Samaria Road Benalla.

The Museum is now located in the last remaining Bellman Hanger where the volunteers are engaged in developing the history of the 11 EFTS, Wartime Training Unit which was stationed in this location from 1941 - 1945, where some 80 Tiger Moths were operated

The Museum hosts many varied and interesting displays from this era, and are also currently restoring a Tiger Moth and reassembling a Vampire Jet for static display.

There is also joy flights available in 2 operational aeroplanes; one being a Moth Minor and the other being a Winjeel. Joy flights are available by bookings only.

The Museum is open between 10am and 4pm Wednesdays and Sundays, and at any other time by appointment.

Benalla is a must see destination for the history and interested; as the area is steeped in Rich History which has left an indelible mark on our country we call home - "AUSTRALIA"
