Opening of Tocumwal Aviation Museum
We would like to congratulate Matt & Karen Henderson on the opening of Tocumwal Aviation Museum last week.
Founded by Matt & Karen Henderson, the driving force behind the successful 2019 Tocumwal Airshow, partnering with the Berrigan Shire Council and incorporating the outstanding work of the Tocumwal Historic Aerodrome Museum, the new Tocumwal Aviation Museum will be housed in a new purpose built and dedicated facility at the Tocumwal Historic Aerodrome thanks primarily to funding secured by the Berrigan Shire Council through the Australian Government’s Drought Communities Program as part of the Building Better Amenity and Resilience for Berrigan Shire Project and contributions by Rotary and THAM.
The Tocumwal Aviation Museum’s vision is to educate, entertain and inspire visitors to foster an appreciation for, and promotion of, Australia’s military and civilian aviation heritage and history, with a focus on Tocumwal’s unique and significant contribution to that history.
The Tocumwal Aviation Museum will be open 7 days a week all year round and incorporate artifacts, memorabilia, interactive exhibitions, historic and vintage aircraft static displays, regular flying displays and much more.

RECONNECT
Did a member of your family train at Temora in the RAAF’s No.10 Elementary Flying Training School (No. 10 EFTS)?
We are interested in the stories of all 10 EFTS personal from trainee aircrew alumni, flying instructors, and the largest contingent of 10 EFTS personnel – ground staff. Likewise, we are keen to hear stories of civilians who interacted with the school. The RAAF’s 10 EFTS cohort form the basis of Temora’s aviation history, and we want to capture these stories before it is too late.
If you want to share your story with the Museum or/and have historical objects you would like to donate, please contact our team at info@aviationmuseum.com.au.
We have now created a private Facebook Group to help us collect all these stories and stay connected with relatives and friends of the RAAF’s 10 EFTS personnel 👉
Follow the #10EFTSRECONNECT journey on social media and reach out if you know someone who are part of the 10 EFTS family.
