Astrojet Cinema Tullamarine Airport 1977. Bauer U3 and16 mm Bauer projector. Second 35mm C&W later replaced with an LP 270 platter. The building originally opened as a space and science museum and the cinema was used to show NASA films.

This was not a financial success and half the space was taken over by Ansett to operate their 727 Link trainer (flight simulator) the remaining half was then operated successfully as a small suburban cinema. The then free car parking ( now the Long term Tullamarine car parking) made it a very easy location for cinema patrons to drive to.
