  5. Roof interior at the Aviation Heritage Museum, Bull Creek

    The file that is attached to this post.

    The amazing timber and iron roof construction of the 1979 building of the Aviation Heritage Museum. The longest timber battens are joined (with what looks like 4 bolts) but only towards their ends — it looked like there were some about 12 m long. Both the tin and the timbers are curved, in opposite directions to provide strength.
