Roy Worcester Historical Centre (Closed)
Founder: Roy Worcester (deceased)
Wewak, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea

Roy Worcester was an expatriate living in PNG who collected World War II war wreckage and aircraft from the Wewak area. In the late 1960, he established a private museum to display his collection in Wewak. Today, the former museum location is Ela Motors in Wewak. Many were painted with "property of R. O. Worcester, Wewak".

After Roy Worcester's death in the early 1970s, his museum closed and the collection was dispersed. Most of the collection was transported aboard a PNGDF landing craft to Port Moresby and donated to the PNG Museum. Other pieces were sold off to private collectors and museums included several Ki-43 Oscar and Ki-61 Tony aircraft wrecks.
