Aircraft Museum Kuala Lumpur Malaysia?

Yes great pics… love the indoor Pioneer, and the sectioned Sabre outside. Also good to see an example of the elegant early Cessna 310 preserved in a collection.!

It looks like a good collection well worth a visit.
Its a shame that none of the RAF machines used in the emergency and not repatriated escaped the melting pot………
I saw that Twin Pin dozens of times 1973-75 when it was outside the National museum……..happy days as a child while my father worked over there

Just a pity they couldn`t pump up the tyres and oleos to the correct settings.Also need to change the Tiger`s prop,and straighten the Harvards`.Where did it come from anyway?

Sycamore, is it the Harvard that you are querying?

I thinking that it could have been one of the aircraft issued to the Malayan Auxillary Air Force (MAAF) in the early/mid-50s. Those were handed over to the RMAF when it was formed in 1958. Just a guess though.

Great collection: thanks for posting

Thanks for posting. Definite worth working on an extended visit next time!

Love the Tiger Moth with the v/p propeller, that’s one that’s not in the Haynes Manual!! 😀

Love the Tebuan pics especialy the one with the drop tanks fitted..
Dear Santa….;)

Thanks Lauriebe for the ident.

My first thoughts on the water was something to do with the climate – monsoon??. You did hit on the right time to visit then.

Thanks for the photos. Particularly like the British contingent: Tiger, Chippie, Dove, single Pin and Twin Pin………oh not forgetting the prop Provost.

Roger, thanks and water it is. Hence the fire hoses in some photos. When I arrived, the staff had just started the quarterly exercise of washing out the hangar. It was about 45 minutes before I could gain access.

That had its upside as the barriers had been removed and I could get closer to the exhibits than would have been otherwise possible.

The Devon is FM1051.

Great set of photos – nice to see, thanks for posting.

I first thought wow what a high gloss floor paint until I realised it is water!

Roger Smith.

ps do you have an identity for the Devon??

Pleased to see that these aircraft have been getting some attention. I was last there 3 years ago, and all were in pretty poor shape.

In the display hangar are:

SA Pioneer.

CL-41 Tebuan x 2.

Cessna 310

NA Harvard, in RAF markings.

Percival Provost T1.

DH Tiger Moth, in RAF markings.

Bell 47.

A4 PTM Skyhawk.

And, at the rear of the hangar:

This is a nice museum and well worth a visit if in the area.

The airfield that you saw was not Klang but Sungai Besi and is the home of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM) Museum. I was there last week and got some reasonable shots.

In the outdoor exhibit area are:

The first aircraft that the RMAF took on charge, SA Twin Pioneer.

HU-16 Albatross.

DHC4 Caribou.

A4 PTM Skyhawk.

2 x CA-27 Sabre Mk 32s.

Awaiting restoration:

DHC1 Chipmunk.

DH Devon.

I did not take a photo of the Heron as, although it might look “immmaculate”
from a distance, at present it is undergoing extensive renovation. Also awaiting restoration in the same area as the Heron is an Alloutte.
