The Ceres is an agricultural conversion of the CAC Wirraway advance trainer. This aircraft was built in 1960 and initially registered VH-CEK. However it was almost immediately re-registered in the Super Spread Aviation 'block' as VH-SSY. It had a long career with various subsequent operators, spending time on and off the Register, until donated to the Drage Airworld Museum at Wangaratta in 1985. Currently airworthy and owned by Doug Hamilton.

This Air Tractor was registered new in Australia as VH-FFM(4) on 7 October 2011. Confusingly, VH-FFM(3) was also a different AT-802! It's had three spells on the Canadian register for the northern summers as C-GYBX: 24 April to 9 November 2012; 26 April to 18 November 2013; and 28 April to 5 November 2014. Seen here doing a practice fire retardant drop at the Tocumwal Airshow.

The fairly spartan front cockpit of the Moth Minor. This aircraft is actually a pre-war civil import. It was allocated the UK rego G-AFNN to the Hull Aero Club in 1939 but appears to have been deregistered the same day. It was registered VH-ACR on 17 Jan 1940 until impressed as the last of the RAAF's Moth Minors A21-42 in Nov 1941. Returned after the war to VH-ACR in 1945 until withdrawn in 1947. Restored at Caboolture during 2003-2008.

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.
