The Flying by the Seat of their Pants exhibition was created in 2022 by the Tasmanian Aviation Historical Society and the Furneaux Museum. It celebrated the 90th anniversary of the first commercial flights from Tasmania to Flinders Island and King Island in 1932.
The exhibition tells the story of pioneering aviation from the first flight across Bass Strait in 1919, to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, when regular commercial flights were flown each day.
It is on display at the Furneaux Museum on Flinders Island from 26 December 2022
We have developed a new website specific to the exhibition called www.bassstraitflight.au
