What's Here:
The Zimbabwe Military Museum has its beginings in a number of historic aircraft stored at Thornhill Air Base. These aircraft were eventually moved to the premises of the School of Defence and a museum opened here in January 1974. Various displays portray the history of the Army, Air Force and Police. In addition to the aircraft, visitors can view aero engines, uniforms and equipment associated with Zimbabwe's military history. A special display honours the efforts of the Rhodesian Air Training Group during World War Two.
