The South Australian Aviation Museum, located in Port Adelaide, South Australia, is an aviation museum which displays aircraft, aircraft engines, and rockets of relevance to South Australia, and the history of aviation and the aerospace industry in Australia.
History
The museum's origins can be traced to 1984 when it was started by a group of enthusiasts interested in aviation history and aircraft restoration.[1] In 1990 it became the official aviation museum for South Australia when it was awarded Provisional Accreditation by the History Trust of South Australia. The following year it became responsible for the State's historical aviation collection.[1]
Following several moves, the museum was set up at its present site in 2006. A second hangar was added in 2017 to accommodate the museum's growing collection of aircraft, engines and associated displays.[1]
