Engines roar again at Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre
There will be action galore, along with a bit of noise and smoke, this Saturday at the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre.
It's all part of Nhill Heritage Weekend, and it means attendees are in for a treat - with Avro Anson and Wirraway aircraft being wheeled out of the Ahrens Hangar for the first time in four years.
Their engines will be started at 11am and 2pm, and despite Nhill's Tiger Moth not being in operation, it is expected other antique aircraft will be flying during the day.
A large range of merchandise will be on sale, and Peter Hodge, author of 'Flyboys' will be in attendance to sign copies of his new publication.
Attendees are also invited to take a stroll along the 1.4 km heritage walk around the old RAAF base or give the Link Trainer a go, where pilots trained for flying at night.
Nhill's Aeradio building, located on Propodollah Road, will be open both Saturday and Sunday, from 2-4pm.
It's the only facility of its kind left in Australia and has a range of equipment and memorabilia on display.
Entry to the Aviation Centre is free, and it will be open on both Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
