Temora Aerodrome

Temora Aviation Museum is the showpiece of what is a thriving centre at Temora aerodrome.

The roots of aviation in Temora go back to World War II when the aerodrome was the site for the Number 10 Elementary Flying Training School (TENEFTS).From its establishment in 1941, some 10,000 pilots and staff passed through the base, with many going on to participate in the aerial defence of Australia.
Following the war, former RAAF personnel and Temora residents established the Temora Aero Club, which still operates today.In 1991, the club participated in the 50th anniversary reunion of former TENEFTS personnel, including an air show featuring a world record fly-in of 71 DH82A Tiger Moths - many of them based here during the war.
Today, Temora’s aerodrome is going through a period of revival, with many aeronautical enthusiasts being drawn to the site by its excellent facilities and the proactive outlook of Temora Shire Council.A growing aviation estate provides first class access to the aerodrome’s facilities, with residents able to situate their hangars right beside their own houses.
