Super Constellation Display
Project overview
Super Constellations are iconic for their design and for their role in Australia's aviation history and the first planes to allow Qantas to establish long-range international flights.
The new interior display explains the planes significance to Qantas history and includes part of a recreated passenger cabin, multimedia screens and interpretative displays. With our support, the Museum can use the display to tell this story in a unique and memorable way.
Restoration of the cockpit took 945 volunteer hours to complete and came with challenges. Volunteers had to rely on photographs, as they had not seen a Super Constellation cockpit in its original state.
