Country:  | Great stuff guys!
Many thanks Wojtek for posting the pics, and the colour profile of BF-R.
Interesting the green (and in one case blue) tops to the fins of some of those 4 squadron aircraft. | |

Just noticed on the last set of profiles one of the locations says Mildura, New South Wales. That should be Mildura Victoria.

Here's another profile of a 4 sqn bird, and a pic I took at the RAAF Museum showing an 85 sqn Boomer.

Country: | Yep, from me too, mate! And for the info too.
Interesting to see the straight exhaust as opposed to the 'hedgehog' type I'm more used to...detail difference between the production batches?
BTW, Airfix do markings for QE-A 'Phooey' with their 1/72 Boomerang (aswell as BF-S 'Sinbad II') | |

The CA-13 was changed to the hedgehog style exhaust due to the straight exhaust on the CA-12's being prone to cracking.
