Temora Aviation Museum TOUR 

The yellow 'jigs' are known as rigging bars and are to used to check the accuracy of control surface deflection. You'll see that the curved element of each jig is graduated. The jigs are attached to the upper surface of the wing / elevator and when say the ailerons are operated, the amount of deflection in compared to the graduated markings and any adjustment necessary applied to the control runs (to ensure for example that when the port ailerons goes up, the starboard aileron goes down by exactly the same amount, or when both ailerons are level, the pilots control column / stick is central - similar to ensuring a car's steering wheel is centred after adjusting the tracking geomtry) ...

Great to see the Temora collection. The man that started it all was determined to see them all flying. It's an amazing experience to be watch them flying

Love the drip trays under the engines

An A-37 with SouthVietnamese markings. Cool!

If you ever visit Michigan in the US, come to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. It’s an awesome museum with tons of wonderful aircraft. My favorite is the SR-71 Blackbird. I don’t think many are maintained in active flying condition, though.

A lockheed Hudson A16-173 crashed in the Wollongong Region in 1942. There are still bits of it on the escarpment. Good hour round trip to get there bit of a bush bash. It was on sub intercept mission out of Camden got lost on the way home.

Will add to that about the Canberra, when I was doing a course at Atlas Aviation we got a tour of the non restricted area, where we were able to watch them replacing one of those wheel assemblies, and using liquid nitrogen, and an oven, to replace the axle in the housing. Hydraulic jig that shoved the 2 parts together, with massive stop blocks to make sure alignment was correct for the few seconds they had, before the 2 parts became one, and near impossible to remove without damage. Yes also we used to joke about being in a flying museum, seeing as many of the aircraft were older than the pilots flying them, and some were old enough that the parents of the pilots had flown them. My father had actually delivered one or two of them as well, bought as war surplus. Know a general who was also one of the original batch of pilots on some, and who had flown them the long circuitous course, over friendly countries, for the delivery flight as well. Tiger Moth my father probably still owes the UK MOD for the one he crashed during training, around 1939, but they probably wrote that off as training accident. He does not owe anything for the Lancaster that was shot to pieces around him, till he died he still had the scars and shrapnel from it.

Great video thank you. Will definitely be visiting.

Regarding the Merlin fuel issue, the fault was flooding, and the solution was though of by a woman, who realised that an orifice washer in the fuel inlet, large enough that it would not impede fuel flow at full throttle, but sized that it would just keep the fuel reservoir in the carburettor full, and no more, was perfect for negative G operation, where the float tended to stick open and flood the engine. Implemented, and was only really applauded and recognised later on.

Really awesome find, Dave. Would be cool to come see an air show. Unfortunately I'm one of those people stuck out in the sticks of North America.

Such a great video, thanks for showing us the museum. Most of these I get to see only in the game War Thunder.

Nice planes, I'd like to visit one day, it's only 400k away from where I live! By the way, the V1 was not a rocket (like the V2), it was a cruise missile powered by a pulse jet engine.

That's great Dave

The Meteor was a deathtrap in Korea

NASA is still operating their B-57 Canberra for research purposes....

So cool

nice one Dave!..cheers for the look! interesting to see a loop antenna on the Hudson

Temora

Temora. Get it right. You have it wrong on the title, and the hashtag, and the "dave tours the world famous" description, but you got it correct on the 0:00 timecode.

Wow very cool video! Whats the cigar shaped thing on the bottom of the CA27 Saber? Are those weights?

Please get the name right: Temora. It would be such a shame if the small town didn’t get a proper plug.

They probably need a loicence to take passengers up.

Australian Canberra bomders would not have carried nukes

David... Cessna is spelled with 2 s', not one like in your index... Did my instrument in Cessnas as well as afterwards....

0:17 Douglas?

18:11 There is a really annoying buzz/beep in background. It hurt my ears.
