ROYAL FLYING DOCTOR SERVICE & BOMBING OF DARWIN HARBOUR 

The first iconic story is the Royal Flying Doctor Service, affectionately known throughout Australia as the RFDS.  Using the latest innovations in holographic technology, the hologram of John Flynn is portrayed by an actor who tells the story of Flynn’s vision and its realisation into the RFDS of today.

Experience a decommissioned RFDS Pilatus PC 12 aircraft completely aero medically equipped and learn about the activities of the RFDS’s pilots, engineers, doctors, and nurses, and the experiences of the patients that are carried and cared for each day.

BOMBING OF DARWIN HARBOUR

The second iconic story featured is the Bombing of Darwin on 19th February 1942. This new and exciting world-class facility will feature never seen before cutting edge technology – holograms, virtual reality and a projection window of the Japanese air attack on the harbour.

View a life-sized replica Japanese Zero aircraft suspended from the ceiling and the workings of a val bomb, and experience Virtual Reality that transports you back to Darwin Harbour of 1942. You are at the original Stokes Hill Wharf, standing on the deck of the Neptuna as it bombed to the point of it exploding and sinking as well as sitting on the wing of an American Kitty Hawk, engaging in a dogfight with the Japanese Zero's.
