点评:The is a very unusual museum located in the Old City of Sharjah. It is the Al Mahatta Museum or the Old Airport Museum.
Today it is surrounded by many tall skyscrapers within the city of Sharjah.
When it was built in 1932, it was the first airport in the region. The museum is now very interesting as it contains many unique collectibles from the early aviation of the UAE and the region.
The original airport buildings were located in a fort-like structure, and would have the facilities for the Imperial Airline passengers whom were flying between Britain to India and on to Australia.
You start your tour in the airports original airports hanger. It contains eight old aircraft one being suspended from the ceiling. My favorite aircraft to view was the DC 3. It is one of the few airplanes that I never few on.
Above the floor you ascend to view two cross sections of two different aircraft. The first you can enter the fuselage of a 1962 VC10 and actually sit in the airplanes original seats. Just after this you can enter the front fuselage of a 1953 Comet and see the original cockpit and three seats, one for the: Pilot; then the co-pilot and just behind the seat for the Flight Engineer. Still within the cockpit were maps, head phones and other old objects used at that time.
The next sections of the old Airport have great exhibits showing the original flight of the first Imperial Airlines flight of a Hanno plane in 1932 to the landing on the moon!
I found that all of the exhibits were extremely interesting and unique. In my humble opinion you will need between two to three hours to really enjoy the full value of this fascinating Al Mahatta Museum.
Trust me if you enjoy flying and old aircraft you will really enjoy a tour of Al Mahatta Museum, trust me…
翻译:这是一个非常不寻常的博物馆,位于沙迦老城。它是阿尔马哈塔博物馆或旧机场博物馆。
如今,它被沙迦市内许多高大的摩天大楼包围。
1932年建成时,它是该地区的第一个机场。该博物馆现在非常有趣,因为它包含许多来自阿联酋和该地区早期航空的独特收藏品。
最初的机场建筑位于一个堡垒般的结构中,将为帝国航空的乘客提供设施,这些乘客在英国至印度和澳大利亚之间飞行。
您在机场原来的机场机库开始您的旅行。它包含八架旧飞机,其中一架悬挂在天花板上。我最喜欢看的飞机是 DC 3。它是我从未少坐过的少数飞机之一。
在地板上方,您可以看到两架不同飞机的两个横截面。首先,您可以进入 1962 年 VC10 的机身,并实际坐在飞机原来的座位上。在此之后,您可以进入 1953 年彗星的前机身,看到原来的驾驶舱和三个座位,其中一个座位为: 飞行员;然后是副驾驶,就在飞行工程师座位后面。驾驶舱内还保留着地图、耳机和其他当时使用的旧物品。
老机场的接下来的部分有很棒的展品,展示了 1932 年汉诺飞机首架帝国航空航班飞往月球的原始飞行!
我发现所有的展品都非常有趣且独特。以我的愚见,您需要两到三个小时才能真正享受这个迷人的阿尔马哈塔博物馆的全部价值。
相信我,如果您喜欢飞行和旧飞机,您一定会喜欢参观阿尔玛哈塔博物馆,相信我……
