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 Prepares for Wings Over Illawarra 2019 - Historical Aircraft Restoration Society

Thursday 2 May was a very busy and productive day at HARS as our volunteers worked to prepare a wide range of HARS airframes for display at Wings Over Illawarra 2019 which is being held this coming weekend 4 & 5 May.

We at HARS hope that all those visiting Wings this weekend will come into the HARS area(s) and view, inspect and enjoy these fine examples of heritage aviation, many of them flyable.

I contributed by walking around and taking the photos attached with this report.
