Country: | Ok as I said to Wildcat. The Avon Sabre had been at Amberley since mid 1968 and I remember seeing it there in that time. The Mirage was at the 2004 ADF Display Amberley. The Mitchell was found about 6 years ago in PNG brought back and restored. I found the other War Birds the Vampire and Meteor, but unfortunately I couldn't really get a good shot of the Hudson. I included the F111s as they are to be placed into HISTORY soon and retired from the RAAF | |

Country:  | Nice shots. We only have one Winjeel in this hemisphere, so it's nice to see other examples.

Hi all,
(This is my first time posting on the site, so apologies if I do something not quite right)
I saw this thread & couldn't resist sharing some of my own pictures from the day.
Great fun! | |

Country: | There is another one at the RAAF Museum which was restored along side the one posted above, both being from New Guinea. Plus another 2 or 3 being restored to fly in Oz.
Here's some pics of the RAAF Museum one.

Country: | Emac great shots mate, thanks for putting them up!
I believe theres 1 Havoc being restored in Wangaratta? They have 2 fuselagues as far as I'm aware and a heap of spares.

Country: | Thanks for that Heinz. and great shots BTW. Looks like a very neat restoration. Do you know if the over-painted Perspex nose is an original fit, or was it restored to represent that type? It's not important, I'm just curious!
Cheers, Terry. | |
