Hi. The Australian National Aviation Museum is hosting the Wings Model Show this weekend in Melbourne at Moorabbin Airport.

 

Its a great informal show aimed mainly at aviation and the museum is well worth a visit especially for the magnificent Beaufighter. Hope you enjoy.

 

 

The Beaufighter was rescued from a children's playground
