I am arranging a trip for the Melbourne Cup Weekend to the Nhill Air Show which is actively supported by our friends at the Rotary Club Nhill.
 
The attached flyer explains the event however if you need more information please contact me on 0419 018 901 or noelhalford@gmail.com.
You may be interested to know that Nhill was the halfway refuelling stop for the first flights from Melbourne to Adelaide.
During WW11, the Nhill Aerodrome played an important role in training pilots for overseas duty.
 
I have tentatively booked some rooms at the Little Desert  Nature Lodge just 16 km out of Nhill for Saturday 2nd of November but I can only hold these for a limited time.
Could you please let me know if you are interested in joining us for what promises to be a great weekend when we can meet up again with the friends we made from our last trip. 
Although there are a number of us who will drive there is an option to travel on a DC3 aircraft that has been arranged especially for the event
 
2019 Nhill Airshow
The Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre will celebrate the Centenary of Aviation in Nhill with another fantastic Air Show on Saturday 2 November 2019.
In 1919 a de Havilland DH6 aircraft landed at the Nhill racecourse marking the beginning of a century of aviation in Nhill.
In 1941 Nhill welcomed the RAAF to use the Nhill aerodrome as a WWII training base. It is one of only a few still laid out as it was in 1945.
The Nhill Airshow 2019 will include a full flying program throughout the day featuring a wide range of aircraft. Ground displays will include classic cars, military vehicles and much more. View our photographic displays. Learn about our aviation history and be amazed by the Wirraway and the restoration of the Avro Anson. RV Camping is available on site by donation. Joy flights can be arranged in advance.
