historical aircraft restoration society

We were taken on a tour by one of the volunteers. He certainly was enthusiastic! Many of the aircraft can be flown and more are being restored so they too can fly. What a privilege to be able to climb into an F111 and an old Neptune Bomber! Not the easiest of places to get when you are over 70! For aircraft enthusiasts - it is a must! It was not an open day so we did not see any fly but we surely did get up close to them!

A great place to see aircraft up close. Plenty to see and amaze you. It is a working museum with restorations being undertaken. You may even be there when a historical plan is flying.Kids may get a bit bored if they are not fascinated by historical aircraft. Albion Park Airport is accessible by train from Albion Park Rail station. You will have an easy walk of about 300 metres to the site. Unfortunately there is no longer a place to get a meal as the nearby busy Aviators Restaurant burnt down and Shellharbour Council for some strange reason will not rebuild the structure.

My partner and I attended the HARS Air Museum Open Day in January 2015. Parking was not a problem and entry was very reasonable at $10 for an adult, $2 for a child or $20 for a family. Children and adults were having an enjoyable day out. Where else can you sit in an F111 or walk up into a Caribou? There were a number of interesting planes to look at in various stages of restoration and really helpful, enthusiastic volunteers who were eager to tell us the stories behind the various aircraft. These open days are to raise funds to restore historical aircraft so that we, and future generations, will benefit. It is not a slick commercial operation, but in our view a good day out! Please note there was a large, clean portable loo, a sausage sizzle, a coffee van and other drinks, and some seating provided...but the point is there were great planes to see and enjoy and the entrance fees go to a worthwhile cause.

this is hardly a tourism attraction. its a hanger with no facilities, no toilets, no fire protection, no parking, no walkways in the wet, no parking for disabled. what a joke.

I have visited this museum twice on open days. I found it extremely interesting and there was a good variety of planes on display with access to several of them. the fly passes were great.

Lots of memories provided of a time long past. A must for those born in the 1930s and served in the military forces during World War II. Not to be missed.
