Bruce Langford VC

Today, Flynn's dream is a vibrant reality, with 21 Flying Doctor Bases and 53 aircraft around Australia.

The Broken Hill Base is unique because it is one of the only working RFDS bases, located at an airport, open to the public daily.

Visitors can tour the Base and explore the Mantle of Safety Museum which showcases over 80 years of remarkable outback history.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is a charitable organisation. We rely on the generosity of the community to continue our life-saving work.

All proceeds from admissions and merchandise sales go towards the purchase of new aircraft and vital medical equipment.
