You may recall a few months ago that a Museum in Western Australia changed maps in its display after complaints from CCP operatives that Taiwan was not shown as part of the PRC:

Good news! Although they have not publicised the fact, my sources indicate that after receiving a "very large" number of complaints, they have now removed the colouring indicating Taiwan is part of the PRC and have issued an apology to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Australia.
It's worth fighting every battle.
I would drive past this place a few times a week and see a tiny sign out front: "Museum open Saturdays 11-5". It piqued my interest. Like many folks, I'm curious about obscure things.
Yesterday my fella and I finally took a field trip to check it out. Glen is a super chill and intelligent older gentleman who has devoted his life to collecting antique and ancient artifacts, especially as they relate to military aviation.
If you love old things, history, taking a peek into someone else's world, and appreciating their life's work, you might love this place. If you are claustrophobic, this may not be for you. Glen walked us through the ground-floor level of his home for about an hour and pointed out many highlights of his collection. Some of my favorites were the complete uniforms and gear of pilots from different wars and countries.
There is no admission fee, but as we left we decided to leave a donation to support his work and to thank him for his time spent with us. He didn't expect it, but appreciated it so much and asked us to send people his way. Business has been very slow, he said.
Give Glen a visit and enjoy this fascinating slice of history.
