Singapore Air Force Museum

Paya Lebar, Singapore

The Republic of Singapore has maintained a strong defence force since the end of the Second World War. It is constantly on alert for threats from its larger neighbours. It also maintains a training presence in Australia and conducts many war games with the ADF. The Museum reflects this with the range of aircraft on display and the fact that it is situated on the edge of the main RSAF air base. During my visit there military were jets and turboprops taking off and landing constantly and I saw F-15s, F-16s, F-5s and Hercules in the circuit and overhead. The Museum has an outdoor display area with around 15 helicopters and fixed-wing airframes on display. Some of these are posed dramatically in flying attitudes on poles and attached to the front of the building. There is also a comprehensive indoor display that details the RSAF History, technology and future directions.
