Regarding the Wangaratta air museum, the building was taken over by a large 'warbird' restoring operation. The museum volunteers were kicked out, but the good news is that they are now busy setting up a smaller version at Benalla; Benalla Aviation Museum. It is also a memorial to 11 EFTS wartime training unit (some 80 Tiger Moths operated there).
The boys are restoring a Tiger to static, and arrangements are in hand for better accommmodation and more exhibits. There is also a Winjeel and a de Havilland Moth Minor operating from BLA, with links to the Museum. It will never be on the scale of Drage Airworld or Temora, but there is now more to Benalla than gliders, 'Weary' Dunlop and the rose gardens!
Not a lot to see at present but the BAM has a working day on Wednesday and is open on Sundays, and visitors are always welcome.
