Well worth a visit if it can be arranged.
I went numerous times in the '80s and 90's, always seemed to be about 40c! ,managed then to get into the Beaufighter and the Vengeance,guess not so do able now.
The Mossie was then just a pile of metal fittings and plywood,coming along nicely now.
Apparently the cowlings for the RNZAF museum Anson were 'borrowed' from the Camden one.

Great pic's and an awesome collection, visited a few years ago in the 90's,
from memory the place used to open the fourth Sunday every month.
This collection is a bit like the Aussie version of Johns Smith's collection,
some awesome stuff. Again from memory pretty sure the Vengance has
penciled in signatures from the factory workers who built her.

Interesting to see the Sea Fury there and a spare Bristol Centaurus engine. Thanks for the link to your blog.
