F-111 Aardvark

This is utter rot I learned of this a while ago but thought would share with the forum.
A sad end to one of the truly great interdiction bombers of their time, there would have been oodles of museums that would have taken an aircraft for display.

True but under the purchase agreement with the US forbidden, A8-125 is the last one and is on display at the RAAF Museum at Point Cook in Victoria.

The Perth RAAF Museum managed to snag an escape module where they raise the pilots side canopy for you to lean in and eyeball the inside other full size aircraft there a Catalina, Spitfire, Lancaster, Iroquois, DC-3, Vampire, Macchi, Canberra, Sopwith Camel and just about everything else from the Civillian side and War a modest $10 to get in and well worth a few hours as you can get pretty close to the displays to look inside them.
They charge a $100 for a 1/1 tour of the Lancaster but I am not that rich so contented with a walk around they also have a sky step where you can get across to the same height at the nose of the plane to have a front on over view pretty big aircraft what did surprise me was the size of the Catalina they are a very big bird.

I remember when I went with my brother to Pearce when he was on duty crew in the late 60's and had a tour of a Herc thats pretty big as well
