点评:After years of waiting this 73yr-old finally made the 8hr drive to Temora. For me, the highlights of May 2026 Aircraft Showcase were learning about 100 Squadron and the relationship with Temora; seeing the precious historical aircraft in the air; and speaking to the dedicated pilots who obviously love flying them. The museum showcases many personal war stories and I particularly enjoyed the information about the women’s roles during the war. However, apart from the friendly staff, a delicious toastie and decadent chocolate cake in the cafe, the best has to be my long-awaited, first tentative experience as a ‘pilot’. Having read about Spitfires for years, the Supermarine Spitfire simulator was a dream come true and my patient guide ensured this nervous pilot didn’t crash. I just need to work out how to get back to ‘fly’ in it again!
