The Aviation Heritage Museum of Western Australia is owned and operated by the Western Australian Division of the RAAF Association. Its origins trace back to 1929. Located on an Air Force retirement village estate in the suburbs, it houses a collection of over 26 aircraft supported by a list of more than 200 volunteers.

The prime exhibits in the collection are the superbly restored Avro Lancaster Bomber, Supermarine Spitfire and Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina. In our Virtual Museum Tour, you can step inside these machines as well all the other aircraft and look around in amazing detail with our 360° HD images.

The museum also houses a Dakota DC3/C47 Skytrain, DH Tiger Moth, DH Moth Minor, Sopwith Camel (replica), CAC Wackett, Auster J5, Avro Anson, Percival Proctor and a CAC Wirraway plus a collection of kit aircraft and gliders, including a Slingsby Gull and Schneider Kingfisher Glider.

Jets include DH Vampire, Macchi MB-326 and Canberra Bomber

Rotary wing aircraft include Bell UH-1H Iroquois and Scorpion 133

Around the walls are items of memorabilia and artefacts pertaining to the Gulf Wars, Vietnam War, Bomber Command, Coastal Command, Prisoners of War, Pathfinders and the War in the Pacific.
