Narromine Aviation Museum: an exhibition of artifacts, documents and photographs which tell the story of aviation as it unfolded on one of Australia ’s most historic aerodromes. During the Second World War, the aerodrome was upgraded to host firstly a large RAAF flying school, and in 1945 a unique RAF Mosquito bomber squadron. The post-war years saw Qantas conduct much of its pilot training there, as well as using the aerodrome as an alternative to Sydney’s Mascot for international flights.
The sport of gliding, too, has roots at Narromine which go back to the 1940s. Today, the region is considered to be among the world’s best soaring sites. Location: Narromine Aerodrome, Trangie Road near Narromine, NSW
