Steve Searle's newly-restored Stinson OY-1 (a naval version of the L-5E-1) made its public debut at the Wide Bay International Airshow. Following a 9 month, ground-up, restoration VH-NOY made its first flight on 29 March 2007. The aircraft is on the Register with cn '03995', but as far as can be determined this is actually its US Navy Bu number. The aircraft has been restored to accurate markings it wore in USN service.
