In this episode Dave Homewood and James Kightly visit the Royal Australian Air Force Museum at RAAF Point Cook in Victoria. James is a regular volunteer guide within this museum so he gives Dave a tour of the exhibits and they discuss many of the various aircraft in the collection and the history behind them.

Dave also meets with Andy Wright, famous for his Aircrew Book Review website and Facebook page, and they discuss Andy’s love of aviation books.

Then James and Dave step outside where they met two of the RAAF Museum’s restoration team, Ron Gretton and Geoff Matthews, who have worked on many of the big projects within the museum, from restoring the Supermarine Walrus to building a flying replica of the WWI Bristol Boxkite.
