With ANZAC Day almost upon us why not come to the Museum and see our extensive display of war memorabilia including the "Spitfire Scroll".
During World War II a Spitfire plane was funded by locals in Bundaberg and donated to the War effort with the name plate of "City of Bundaberg & District". It was donated in memory of late Squadron Leader Bert Hinkler as well as in admiration of the Royal Air Force Fighter Squadrons.
During the fundraising for the Spitfire this Scroll was prepared and locals from Bundaberg paid a small fee to be able to sign their name upon the Scroll. The Scroll was titled "Roll of Spitfire Supporters".
