Photo Comment

This Boomerang was built in 1943 but put straight into storage at Oakey until 1948, when it was disposed of. The aircraft was bought by a farmer where the remains resided until 1970 when Harold Thomas recovered the fuselage frame for his Camden Museum of Aviation. It was sold on in 1990 and is currently being restored by Nick Knight at the B-24 Museum.
