G'day All,
Here are some pictures from today's setup for the display tomorrow!! Had turn the brightness down on a few of the pics due to the glare off the white floor and walls! More pics tomorrow and more ships with Scott and Warner still to bring ships in....
Tomorrow is the opening of the new Hangar/wing so should be a good day...
Cheers B2

Great day, they had engine startups outdoors just back behind the rear wall of the display! IT WAS LOUD.... a little turbo jet, a Radial, a Merlin and a Kestrel

Re: FBGW-Aviation Museum Display 28Oct2017
Hi All , A big Thank You to those FBGW members who availed themselves to make this display the success it was. Those who made it possible are;
Scott , Richard , Bob , Warner , Brenton , Graham ( G2 ) Mike , Kevin , Bruce ( B2 ) , Rob and not forgetting myself. There is a possibility that there could be other displays in the future. If those who peruse the photo's , can anyone identify the flags under the banner with the meaning !! I know one person who will
Craig , The museum is located in Port Adelaide , west of the city. There is also the Maritime and Railway museums in the same location
Cheers , Jim

Great display guys. Yes Jim, I got it. I won't put it up on here to see if anyone else can do it also. Robert would still be able to also I'm sure.
