Founded in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1939, the Royal Flying Doctor Service started off as an aeromedical operation. The second landmark occasion is the Bombing of Darwin in 1942. These two landmark incidents are captured at the location, with the aid of cutting-edge technology.

You will have a chance to see the Japanese attack on Darwin harbour with the aid of holograms, virtual reality, and projection windows. A decommissioned RFDS Pilatus PC 12 aircraft is present at the facility, completely equipped with the medical supplies as it was during World War 2. The plane is completely accessible to the public and offers an unforgettable experience to relive history.
