This 2-hour self-guided visit at the Royal Flying Doctor Service Darwin Tourist Facility shares two important Northern Territory stories. First, you learn about the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), which started aero medical operations in 1939 under the leadership of Reverend John Flynn. The facility uses life-size holograms to present the history and development of the RFDS. Visitors can also board a retired RFDS Pilatus PC-12 aircraft equipped for aero-medical missions and discover the roles of pilots, engineers, doctors, nurses, and the patients they serve. The second story focuses on the Bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942. Located at Stokes Hill Wharf - the site affected by the bombing - the facility uses innovative technology to bring the events and personal accounts of that day to life. Visitors receive an introductory overview before exploring the exhibits at their own pace. The facility is indoors, air-conditioned, and offers audio translations in Japanese, German, French, and Simplified Chinese.
