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.

Navy Heritage Flight – 17 February 2019 Update - Historical Aircraft Restoration Society

This week ending on 17 Feb 19, February 2019 has again busy for the newly activated HARS Navy Heritage Flight, during which a large number of HARS volunteers and friends/ supporters drawn from e.g. Air Affairs (AA), continue to undertake activities connected with moving the recently acquired 9 airframes and associated stores off the operational HMAS Albatross base.

The arrival and unloading of the Sea Venom can be seen to the left.
