With the organising skills of Gerald Barker, the Rotary club of Burnside had the opportunity to tour the Aviation Museum in Port Adelaide. Our tour guide, ex-pilot Steve Nelson, was a wealth of knowledge. As we toured around the massive hangars, Steve had all the history of the various aircraft. There were aircraft from many different conflicts, again with much history attached. There was also a display of memorabilia from different Air personnel both male and female.
It was a fascinating afternoon and we all gained a great deal from the experience.
I recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in aviation and even to people wanting to see something very different.
We finished off the afternoon with a delicious lunch at the Birkenhead Tavern. It was a great opportunity to see Rotarians and their partners. We always look forward to the regular vocational tours and lunch. Thank you to Gerald and our tour guide Steve Nelson.
