the Fleet Air Arm Museum's Open Day in Nowra this Sunday, 25 May 2008.
The event will be part of Diamond Jubilee celebrations for the Fleet Air Arm

Commanding Officer of HMAS Albatross, Captain Mark Sackley, said Navy was
looking forward to the event as it would showcase the historical development
of the Fleet Air Arm and HMAS Albatross.
"This will be an opportunity for the local community to help us celebrate
the history of naval aviation in the Shoalhaven over the past 60 years,"
Captain Sackley said.
"I encourage everyone with an interest in aviation to join us for this
event."

Dakota, Winjeel and Tiger Moth from the Historical Aircraft Restoration
Society will also be on static display.
