Description: Tucked into a grassy paddock on the Hunter Valley floor, the Luskintyre Aviation Flying Museum is far more than a display of static aircraft — it is a living workshop where vintage machines still take to the sky. Follow the story of Rex Ninnis and the restorers who have devoted decades to breathing life back into Tiger Moths and their fleetmates, uncovering the archaeology of canvas, wire and the unmistakable scent of dope along the way. From the mechanics of painstaking restoration to the thrum of radial engines over rural New South Wales, this book captures both the craft and the romance of a bygone era of flight. Rounded out with practical visitor notes, it's an essential companion for aviation enthusiasts and curious travellers alike.
