    The RAAF Museum in Point Cook, Australia, offers visitors an informative journey through the history of Australian military aviation. Located at the birthplace of the Royal Australian Air Force, this museum houses an impressive collection of aircraft and memorabilia. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved vintage planes and the opportunity to see some of them in flight during scheduled demonstrations. The knowledgeable volunteers and staff enhance the experience with their passion and expertise. However, some visitors note that the exhibits could benefit from updated displays and interactive elements to engage younger audiences. The museum's remote location can be a drawback for some, but many find the trip worthwhile for aviation enthusiasts. While the museum provides a comprehensive look at RAAF history, some visitors mention that certain areas of the facility could use renovations or expansions to improve the overall experience. Despite these minor issues, the RAAF Museum is generally regarded as a valuable resource for those interested in Australia's aviation heritage.

    I Visited the RAFF open day at Point Cook yesterday (1/9/24), the day was bright and sunny, really nice to have a walk about at the museum

    I visited all the exhibitions BUT was saddened and extremely annoyed that at the display aircraft’s hanger and elsewhere where photos etc were on display not one photo of non-whites who had served diligently during the Boar war, and both the World Wars were anywhere in sight except in one photo two women of color was exhibited . Indian soldiers., Gurkhas, First Nations People, Pacific Islanders were no where given the respect as the white soldiers! There is no mention of non-white soldiers!!

    I thought the museum would pay homage to ALL the soldiers who fought in the wars regardless of their skin colors but apparently the museum does not see it fit to record the sacrifices made by non-whites at wars which were largely due to white man’s rules!

    I hope the RAFF museum will rectify and include the soldiers from non-white background and give the sacrifices they made as they appear to do it to white soldiers!

    I was so annoyed and disappointed I just could not stay long; even the music was all by white people during the time I stayed from around 11am to 12, there must be musicians from non-white current army members unless they are not recruited .. just annoyed and sad that even till today white man have colonial hangover

    RAFF museum is grossly incomplete without the acknowledgment to other non-white soldiers who were recruited/used to fight in the wars perpetrated by white men

    Factual display is a must so that generations to come can see the values, sacrifices made by non-white soldiers too during wars whose architects were white men !!
