MISSION

The FNQ Aviation Museum sets out to establish a significant museum that showcases the incredible contribution that aviation has played in Far North Queensland whilst creating employment in our local community and training opportunities for the attainment of numerous skills.

VISION

To establish a world class Aviation Museum that provides an interactive and captivating experience for visitors and provides a facility for training and development within our community.

PRESERVE – Preservation of our local history and related artefacts relevant to the area INSPIRE – Create an interactive and captivating world class facility that captures the interest of all demographics EDUCATE – Create an interesting and different learning experience for all ages RESTORE - Provide training opportunities for school students, prisoners reintegrating to the community, retired persons, work for the dole and other community based groups to gain experience restoring aircraft, engines and other aviation related history artefacts

PREFACE

A decade after the beginning of powered flight in 1903, the first aircraft to fly in FNQ in August 1914 was a small French Caudron G3 – a primitive wood & fabric biplane that came to Australia by ship.

Ever since Far North Queensland has played a key element in various aspects in the development of aviation technology & methods.

Mareeba played a significant role in World War II with its two airstrips built in 1942 supporting one of the largest military bases in Australia at the time.

Local aviation history is currently not on display with the exception of several memorials & monuments.

One of the main collections that was on display was the Beck collection, the owner sadly passing away. Unfortunately much of the contents of this former museum & others are being sold off, leaving the area.

This is where the FNQ Aviation Museum comes in as a community-based, not-for-profit organisation. The aviation museum will display anything of heritage relevance from 1914 to the present day. Mareeba’s wartime history and the building of the airfield runways makes the location of the museum historically significant.

COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

The FNQ Aviation Museum will provide a number of benefits to the local community including:

 Increased tourism in the Far North Queensland region both as a standalone Museum and partnerships with already established tourism entities.  Construction jobs of the Museum facility and creation of numerous ongoing local jobs  Food and Beverage facility to service the newly upgraded Mareeba Aerodrome and surrounding areas  Foster a culture of volunteering in the community  Capturing Aviation interest in the community through education and learning untold stories  Increasing social inclusion through a place to meet & combat mental health issues  Partnering with Flight Training organisations to address the growing worldwide pilot shortage  Skill building workshops to assist school age students enter the workforce, prisoners reintegrating into the community, retirement age groups looking to learn new skills and meet new people.  Educational tours & workshops venue for Schools, Scouts and other community groups  Board room and function area for visitors that require a nearby function room  Historical research base for aviation related historical groups.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The FNQ Aviation museum concept has received overwhelming support and positive encouragement from the community. A vast range of contacts in the local community and in the Aviation Industry provide the FNQAM with the necessary background skills and expertise to ensure the venture is successful. Being fully inclusive in the community across a broad cross section of industries ensures that the FNQAM is able to welcome everyone to be involved in some way.

The FNQAM currently has access to members & partners with the following skills and backgrounds:

 Pilots and Test Pilots  Engineers  Historians  Ex Servicemen  RAAF  Builders  Insurance Professionals  Legal personnel  Accountants with Tax, Accounts and Auditing  Project management

We welcome new people interested in helping the museum & prefer to have as many people involved as possible.

What is different about our Model

Input from Not an individually members is taken owned entity. on board to COMMUNITY MEMBER The FNQAM is establish better DRIVEN BASED established to ideas and skills to incorporate the achieve better whole community outcomes

Acquisition, Funds are restoration and reinvested into the preservation of Museum for NOT FOR PRESERVED history to ensure acquisition of new the stories of years artefacts, aircraft PROFIT gone by remain for and restoration years to come projects

PROJECTED UTILISATION

Schools Provision of skills gaps that Schools cannot provide by partnering with TAFE, Universities or other RTOs to provide module based training

Example: John is a high school student wishing to enter into the Aviation Industry upon completion of secondary schooling. The FNQAM may offer a module for example of aluminum welding as a stand-alone subject that can be recognised as RPL when he starts an Aeronautical Engineering Course.

Schools have the opportunity to attend the museum for educational purposes, lessons on local history, aviation history and wartime history will be able to be provided at the museum.

Prisoners and Reintegration into the Community With an aim to provide skills to offenders returning to the community following incarceration the prisoners will have the opportunity to attain skills which will assist them in obtaining employment, thus reducing the recidivism rate. We would also welcome them to volunteer within the museum where their newly acquired skills could be utilised. This may include assisting in the restoration of aircraft, aircraft engines and other relevant artifacts. The prisoner population at Lotus Glen is predominately Indigenous and the FNQAM looks forward to being able to assist with integration back into the community.

To engage the prisoners in the museum we would ideally work with Queensland Corrective Services, in particular the Lotus Glen low custody farm to discuss possible options.

Activities for retirement The FNQAM will provide activities for those in retirement, being restoration projects, setting up dioramas, assisting with the food and beverage, provision of relevant skills. This would engage local groups such as the Men’s Shed. Community Groups The FNQAM is a community focused organisation & will offer access to all groups such as the RSL Sub-branch, Veterans, Scouts, Girl Guides, Rotary & Lions Clubs. The multi purpose facility will allow use of the function area for meetings, dinners, air activities, workshops or history lessons.

Royal Flying Doctor Service The FNQAM will not only house a display based on the significant contribution that the RDFS has in Far North Queensland, but provide a facility to house, stretchers and other vital medical equipment which may be required when the RFDS are required to retrieve a patient from the Mareeba Aerodrome. It will also allow a place for the pilots to obtain refreshments, of which are currently unavailable within 10km of the aerodrome.

QANTAS QANTAS is a significant contributor to Aviation in Australia, including locally during World War 2 with their flying boats. The QANTAS founders museum located in Longreach is world class and the there is potential opportunity to work with the QFM to create a mini display and cross promote their facility.

Aviation Groups – a Meeting Place The FNQAM will serve as a place to host meetings and informal gatherings of the many flying groups in the local area include Sports Aircraft Association, Innisfail Aero Club, Atherton Aero Club, North Queensland Aero Club, FNQ Flyers & other visiting aviators.

Aeronautical Skills The FNQAM will have the opportunity to work with local schools like the Atherton State High School Aeronautical class to provide a facility where students will build a project aircraft. The teacher of the subject is a licenced private pilot and amateur aircraft builder.

VH-FDY was first registered in 1966 and served with the RFDS, the aircraft still flies today in charter operations and is based at Mareeba in Far North Queensland

QANTAS was founded in Winton QLD on 16th November 1920 – 2020 Marks 100 years A STAGED APPROACH

The successful execution of the FNQAM project is a staged process. An indication of these stages involves:

• Background administration including formation of the Company, application for ABN, Deductible Gift Recipient and Not for Profit Status. Appointment of Auditor & Accountant, information kit, policies and procedures • Set up Website, email hosting, Social media – post regular updates Promote membership and the fund raising process

• Create a museum that displays history & objects at Mareeba Airport • Grant opportunities, identify funding opportunities to expand the museum • Obtain letters of support • Public consultation and awareness of the project • Work with architects and builders to develop a building plan to suit the allocated area • Development of strategic, business and marketing plans 2

• Finalise building plan and work with council for approval of plans • Continue fundraising, through grants, donations, go fund me and other identified methods • Actively locate aircraft and artefacts relevant to the museum

• Building construction(Stage 1) – museum & hangar building • Continue public awareness and updates on progress • Prepare storage & exhibits

• Building construction works(Stage 2) including restoration hangar • Continue fundraising for further development and grant applications for improvements • Continue public awareness and updates on progress • Begin main income generating activities (Restaurant/Café, Museum admission, Functions, 55 Hangarage etc) CURRENT POSITION

The FNQ Aviation Museum is incorporated as an Australian Company Limited by Guarantee that was registered in September 2018. The management team are members of the organisation and have a substantial interest in Aviation.

Prior to the formation of the company the FNQAM discussed the proposed museum over an extended period of time and continues to secure relevant artefacts, aircraft and other items relevant to aviation history in the area.

The museum has accumulated a significant collection of period uniforms, patches, badges, aircraft parts, historical photo albums, books, model aircraft, and much more. The value of these items are priceless to the museum. In addition to the artefacts the museum has already secured a number of aircraft to be displayed in the museum, both on static and flying basis.

The most notable aircraft that will form part of the collection is a CAC12 Boomerang which was a significant World War II Australian-built fighter aircraft, which operated out of the Mareeba Aerodrome. The limited number of these aircraft on display will make it a drawcard to the region.

The FNQAM will also accept the donation of a Robinson R22 Helicopter which will form the basis of a helicopter mustering diorama. Heli mustering was pioneered by Rex Budd in Far North Queensland.

The Mareeba Shire Council has been extremely supportive of the project to date and have allocated over 5000m2 of leased airport land.

PROJECTS

In 2019 FNQAM members gave a space in the unused Mareeba airport terminal building a makeover including cleaning of the walls, floor & painting the entire building including toilets. We created a museum in the building which is adjacent to the existing memorials for visitors to the airfield. On open days & on request from school groups, unsecurable items will also be made available. There they will be able to learn about:

- US & Australian Air Force units & aircraft that were based at Mareeba in World War 2 - Aviators who pioneered aviation businesses, crop dusting & helicopter mustering in the area - Local aircraft crashes honouring the deceased - Timeline of the airfield - Map of the airfield highlighting the past & present - Aircraft objects - Library of aviation books & magazines.

The museum has also participated in the local military muster displaying artefacts & history.

NEXT STEPS

 Architects have developed a site plan & building design for the complex’s hangars & museum. This will house the museum’s collection in one precinct.

 Quantity surveying/costing the facility to enable a staging the project where required.

 Maintaining current letters of support & contributions from the community organisations to assist in funding applications.

 Financial backing, whereby grant applications, crowd funding and other fundraising initiatives will take place to begin raising the capital to see this project take shape.

 Members of FNQAM will continue to collect artefacts, secure aircraft, restore artefacts, continue discussions with stake holders, grow the membership base, and finalise the design of the building.

 The development of Policies and Procedures manuals, has been completed and regular review will take place as the organisation develops.

CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED

Cash contributions (tax deductible) - use for capital improvements to construct museum facility - use to secure aircraft & artefacts for display - leverage government grants to receive additional funding In-kind contributions - Business/individual contribution of materials, services or time

Please get in touch for a full list of services required.

LOCATION

The FNQAM has chosen the Mareeba Aerodrome or Hoevet Field as it was named during WW2 as the most suitable location for the Museum. The FNQAM will complement the recent $23m expansion of the Mareeba Aerodrome by adding further infrastructure to the project that will benefit the community from an economic and community aspect. Contributing factors in the selection of the location include:

 A suitable space for flying and static aircraft  A proactive and supportive Council  A significant history and contribution to aviation  An easily accessible location from a tourism perspective  Ease of access to the tarmac and the best vantage points for flying displays

The Mareeba Shire Council has been very supportive of the project and have allocated 5000m2 to accommodate the FNQAM within the new Western Aviation Precinct.

The establishment of a museum on the airfield will further enhance the recent $23 million expansion of the Aerodrome.

The FNQAM allocated blocks marked in Black. AIRCRAFT

A significant part of the display at the FNQ Aviation Museum is aircraft that have provenance and relevant to the local area. Our aim is to preserve and restore these magnificent machines while inspiring and educating visitors to the museum.

Some of the aircraft you can expect to see on display at the FNQAM include:

Douglas C-47 (DC3) Dakota

RAAF Registration: A65-73

Built in 1945 During World War II, the armed forces of many countries used the C-47 and modified DC-3s for the transport of troops, cargo, and wounded. More than 10,000 aircraft were produced. The C-47 differed from the civilian DC-3 in numerous modifications, with a cargo door, hoist attachment, and strengthened floor, along with a shortened tail cone for glider-towing shackles, and an astrodome in the cabin roof.

Boeing Stearman
