Nowra Albatross Fly-In and Museum display on May 25th

Nowra Albatross Fly-In and Fleet Air Arm Museum Open Day on May 25th

I notice that this is described as a Fly-In and Museum Open Day, but does anyone know what else goes on and is it worth attending?

I have spoken to them today and prior approval is needed to fly-in, but has anyone been before who can report on what goes on.

Is it the Museum Aircraft or currently active serving aircraft that are the attraction, or is it just the Fly-In aircraft that are all on display.

As further data on this Fly-In, below is the text of an advisory that the Navy mailed to me today:
