Australian Naval Aviation Roll of Honour and
Fleet Air Arm Wall of Service
HMAS Albatross, Nowra, NSW, Australia. 

The RAN Fleet Air Arm Museum located at the FAA station HMAS Albatross at Nowra in NSW, Australia. Across from the museum entrance is the Australian Naval Aviation Roll of Honour and the Fleet Air Arm Wall of Service, both contained within a U-shaped monumental wall, and dedicated on Remembrance Day, 11 November 2009.

The Honour Roll commemorates those from the RAN, other Australian Services and civilians who lost their life in the line of duty during naval aviation operations. The Wall of Service of the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia has brass plaques donated by individuals who are current or ex servicing members of the RAN Fleet Air Arm or those from other Services who were attached to the FAA. In the foreground a Memorial Garden surrounds the statue of an albatross skimming above the ocean waves. The FAA station is named after the seaplane tender HMAS Albatross, commissioned in January 1929.
