The museum has two de Havilland DHC-4 Caribou, A4-210 & A4-234, which entered RAAF service in late 1964 and 1965 respectively. Both are Vietnam veterans where they were part of RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam.
A4-234 was the last RAAF aircraft out of Vietnam and flew home to Australia in February 1972. Both aircraft were retired from the RAAF service in late 2009 with ~19,000 flight hours each. Both aircraft are airworthy and are a flying memorial to all Australian Service personnel who served in the Vietnam War.
