Saturday 18th May 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The preparatory work for the 2019 Canberra Saturday event on Saturday 18th May, 2019 is now almost complete. The event will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Canberra aircraft and will be centred on the museum\u2019s extensive collection of Canberra aircraft and cockpit sections.<\/p>\n The day will also mark the 20th anniversary of the Tribute to the Canberra event at our Gateway Aviation Site back in 1999, which was the forerunner of the ground breaking Cockpit-Fest event. As part of the event there will be a Canberra Reunion for former personnel who operated Canberra aircraft, with a number of veterans already having confirmed their participation at the event.<\/p>\n Canberra Saturday 2019 is also open to the general public and museum trustees, volunteers and staff have put together a range of visiting special displays and activities. On both days a number of museum aircraft will be open for people to visit \u2013 this will include the Canberra aircraft and cockpits at the museum. A small additional charge will be made for each aircraft visited (proceeds towards the museum\u2019s various aircraft restoration projects).<\/p>\n Newark Air Museum Canberra exhibits<\/strong><\/p>\n Canberra B(I)8 mod \u2013 WV787 Visiting Displays<\/strong><\/p>\n Mainly Military Model display During the event digitised extracts from the Roland Beamont interviews that the museum recorded shortly before his death will be played in the Cinema area in Hangar 2.<\/p>\n BBMF Flypast<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday 18th May \u2013 Dakota Normal museum admission rates apply: Adults \u00a39.00, Over 65s \u00a38.00, Children \u00a34.50 and Family ticket [2 adults & 3 children] \u00a324.00.<\/p>\n Opening times; 10am to 5pm; last admission 4pm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday 18th May 2019 The preparatory work for the 2019 Canberra Saturday event on Saturday 18th May, 2019 is now almost complete.
