At HARS, we have people from all walks of life. What sets us apart are the many retired and active Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, Professional Pilots and Cabin Crew who either have or still work for Qantas. We are dedicated to Australian aviation history, and our collection of flying, under restoration and static display aircraft is testament to that. "Not bad for a bunch of old people".

Describe what people can expect.

The best description is "TARDIS". I have lost count of the people I have shown around who are literally amazed at what they see. I guess our advertising needs to be more spectacular.

Is HARS a standard museum?

Absolutely NOT!!! When you visit, a tour guide will escort you and show you all that is here. At HARS, you will be walking through operational hangars, able to get up close and personal with our aeroplanes and even explore some of them.

HARS Engine Run Open Cockpit Days to Continue - Historical Aircraft Restoration Society

Following the success of our open cockpit engine run weekends in 2012 HARS plans to continue these special weekends during 2013 when for the normal guided tour price you can watch big engines run, fly the flight simulator, sit in a jet fighter cockpit and look through other old aeroplanes. Dates will be announced soon. All for the normal tour price of $15 per adult (concessions and family prices also available). If you are a real enthusiast HARS can, for $250.00, also provide you with a Taxi ride in the Neptune Bomber (ring 02 4257 4333 for price and details)
