Fighter World Museum, Williamstown, NSW, Australia - 26-2-2011
I heard about this museum when I was a student in NSW back in the 80s - 90s. However, I was just too lazy to drop by as the venue is off the main roads and 2 hours drive from Sydney. This year, I decided to see the museum on the way to seaside resort The Entrance, for fishing with my family. Not easy to locate. You need a GPS to find this place which is near the RAAF's Williamstown AB!
Here to see a MiG-21 UM (double seater), a exchange gift from the Indian Air Force to RAAF, for a Mirage IIIEO. This MiG-21UM is very well preserved in the very pack hangar.
Worth the trip to see this unique bird.
