The goal of the UMCT is for our aircraft to become the centrepiece of a museum commemorating the emergency landing of the original Royal Dutch Air Lines “Uiver” at the Albury Racecourse during the 1934 London to Melbourne Air Race. Our DC-2 is the oldest of only eight surviving in the world.

We are looking for volunteers to join our team.

If you are...
• A DIYer
• A tradie (or retired tradie)
• Have good skills with hand tools
or would just like to help out, we have a position for you!

If you don’t have ‘hands-on’ skills we have a training program to teach you new skills.
We also need people with skills in marketing and social media.

Many of our volunteers come from unrelated areas–we have farmers, teachers, shop assistants, healthcare workers and mechanics working with us.

Some of the restoration work we do includes:
• De-riveting and riveting
• Surface restoration and polishing
• Spray painting
• Carpentry
• Sheet metal work

We encourage both women and men of all ages to join us. Our supervisors ensure that you will work in a safe environment and we supply PPE including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.

We work in a relaxed, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere, supply a BBQ lunch each Saturday, and hold regular social events during the year.

To join our team call Tim on 0457 728 476 or visit us on our regular work days, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7 Bristol Court, Albury Airport.

You can support our project by Giving a Rivet (or lots of them).
