Attractions in Narromine
Narromine Aviation Museum
Gliding and flying attract large numbers of people to the area every year. The local aerodrome (4 km west of town, on the Mitchell Highway) houses the nation’s oldest country aero club.
The club, which has played host to personalities as diverse Charles Kingsford Smith, Charles Ulm, Chuck Yeager and Nancy Bird Walton was established shortly after World War I. Nearly 3,000 pilots were trained here during World War II when the aerodrome was commandeered by the Department of Defence.
The Narromine Aviation Museum tells the story of a century of aviation in the Narromine area. The exhibits include the scrapbook from the Aero Club; a collection of photographs from the 1920s and 1930s of the visitors to the airport; a Rolls Royce Merlin 25 aero engine; a diorama model of the aerodrome during World War II and “Displayed in the museum’s new wing are three aircraft believed to be unique in the world:
* The only flyable replica of the 1907 Wright Flyer Model A (2005);
* An original Corben Super Ace homebulit (1938);
* An original Hawkridge Venture glider (1953).”
