The first episode will be broadcast on the evening of 25 April and the first session will be held from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday 26 April. Refreshments will be provided.

Open Day Open Night was staged jointly by the Australian War Memorial and the National Capital Authority. On Tuesday 23rd January, after a long journey by road, a Lockheed Hudson bomber, which flew in Australia and Papua New Guinea during the Second World War, was delivered to the Memorial.
