A rare aircraft registered in the VH-N block at the end of World War II. Had it not already been cancelled, VH-NCW would have been forced to change registrations when the VH-N block was declared off limits. Faced with running out of registrations, authorities free it for use again in 1970s.

This Wirraway was the 8th off the production line in 1939 and is the oldest surviving example of the type. Remarkably, it served with the RAAF until 1960 when it was sold back to the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation as a source of spares for the Ceres program. However, it was not used and was sold in 1963 to John Hopton, one of the original members of the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group that operated the Moorabbin Air Museum. The aircraft was restored to original 'as delivered' ground-running condition in 2015-16.

This aircraft entered service as a Dove Mk 1 in 1948 as CS-TAC with Aereos-SATA in Portugal. It was fitted with improved engines in 1972, becoming a Mk 5. Later that year it returned to Britain becoming G-BAHB. Two years later it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-CLD on 15 March 1974. It operated with Bassair until grounded with severe corrosion in 1977. The cockpit only is currently part of the Moorabbin Air Museum collection.

This Gipsy Moth was registered new in Australia on 5 July 1929. In 1940 it was impressed into RAAF service as A7-79 until 1944. A rare survivor, the aircraft was restored and returned to the civil Register in May 1954, but withdrawn from use just four years later in June 1958. The aircraft was donated to the Moorabbin Air Museum in 1965, the first complete aircraft in the collection.
