It is located at the northern tip of the island. Bus No. 6 from the town centre will take you this museum and it only cost RM2.80 at the time of my visit.

Next to the aircraft was a Oerlikon 20MM II SS naval gun, used by the marine police and was retired in 1998. There also a few types of cannons and armoured vehicles used during the British colonial era in 1940s and 50s.  Oerlikon 20MM II SS - Naval Gun British Cannon Type HMW 38 Year 1917 - Used to guard the Sg Petani Police Station in 1940  Fort Lynx...
