At the end of each Flying Day 'ramp talk' is held. It enables visitors to get up close to the aircraft and talk to the pilots. Here, a crowd gathers around the Canberra. Photo: Emily Bondaruk

The Temora Fire Brigade Crew are just a few of the many members of the public that donate
their time to man the Museum's canteen, the 'Mess Hall' on Flying Weekends. To date,
the Mess Hall has raised over $150,000 to aid local community charities. Photo: Emily Bondaruk |
