Photo Comment

This relatively early Wirraway had the real RAAF serial A20-81 and served with 5 SFTS. Retired in May 1957, it was sold for scrap. Rescued by Pearce Dunn and kept at his museum at Mildura 1975-80. Restored at Essendon 87/89 and Caboolture 92/95. Currently based Caboolture and seen here at the Wide Bay International Airshow.
