Central Australian Aviation Museum

The Connellan Airways hangar was open as a museum in May 1979 thanks to vital financial assistance from the NT Government along with the terrific public response. You can find a rare Rolls Royce exhibit the 1920 Silver-Ghost bought by the fledgling Connellan Airways in late 1939, converted to a working Ute and used to drag logs behind to smooth the ground for landing strips in the bush. The late Senator Bern Kilgariff OAM AM cleared strips with it as a 16 year old. This iconic vehicle, previously housed at the Alice Springs Airport, is now on display in the Heritage listed Connellan Airways hangar along with other aviation history.
