Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.
Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.
Aviation Museum
HARS Parkes Aviation Museum is part of the Historic Aviation Restoration Society[1] and is located at Parkes Airport, In Parkes, New South Wales, Australia[2]. It is currently housed in a former Bellman hangar from the airport's time as a World War Two Royal Australian Air Force base. HARS Parkes is known for being 'hands on' with visitors able to board aircraft such as the Orion[3] and Caribou along with Huey Cobra and Wessex helicopters.
HARS Parkes Aviation Musuem is currently open on Thursdays and Sundays from 9.30am to 3.30pm. The museum's Facebook page advertises additional opening days.
During World War Two and as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme, Parkes airport became RAAF Station Parkes, accommodating No.1 Air Navigation School and No.2 Wireless Air Gunners School, later No.8 Operational Training Unit (Spitfires) and for a period of time during 1944, Central Flying School. After the war No.87 Squadron (Mosquitos) operated from Parkes. Did you know that former Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam graduated from Parkes as a Flying Officer navigator?[4]
Following the closure of RAAF Station Parkes in 1946, the accomodation facilities were repurposed into a post-war migrant camp.
Parkes Aero Club, formed in 1948, still operates from its historic ex-RAAF COMMCEN building.
Parkes has been used as a storage facility for the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society since 1975 and has been transformed into an aviation museum in its own right.
Planning has commenced on the construction of a dedicated museum facility at the entrance of Parkes Airport to provide undercover storage and display of aircraft in a dedicated hangar.[5]
