The grandfather of them all... The Scout, designed by Ron Wheeler, was one of the very first practical ultralight aircraft. About 800 were manufactured in Australia and overseas. This one was registered with the Australian Ultralight Federation (now RAAus) on 28 July 1988 when the requirement to register ultralights was first introduced.

Built to USAAF order as 44-41956 but delivered to the RAAF in 1945 as A72-176. Disposed of for scrap in 1948, the fuselage of this Liberator was recovered from a farm near Sale where it had been since 1952. Restoration commenced in 1988 and considerable progress has been made. The airframe is substantially complete inside and out (although the tailplane and fins are stored separately for the time being), and the flight deck is temporarily set up as a separate display.

This homebuilt Osprey was registered on 19 November 1992. It's a good example of how aircraft registered with RAAus under CAO 95.10 need only display the digits of their individual number, rather than their full registration. DV924 is the aircraft's boat registration.

This historic aircraft is 100 years old in 2025. It was the first D.H.60 Moth to be exported from the UK, and the first of many to be imported into Australia. It was registered to the Civil Aviation Branch of the Department of Defence as G-AUAE on 5 November 1925, the first of at least 36 Moths loaned to the Aero Club movement to support pilot and engineer training. Re-registered VH-UAE in 1929 and impressed into the RAAF as A7-88 during the Second World War. This un-airworthy fuselage was left over from a 1980s rebuild and is preserved as a non-flying relic.
