The Fleet Air Arm of today comprises not only operational squadrons but also a vast support network dedicated to maintaining those aircraft and improving the skills of the individuals who maintain and operate them. The history of the Fleet Air Arm has not been lost either - the RAN Historic Flight was formed in 1985 with the aim of restoring to flying condition as many ex - Navy aircraft types as possible. It is a separate activity to that of the Naval Aviation Museum. Established in 1974, the Naval Aviation Museum aims to preserve the heritage of Australian Naval Aviation and the Fleet Air Arm. It also endeavours to present the deeds and sacrifices of those naval air personnel who have served their country both in war and peace.
