This 1978 Two-Twelve had a varied history before coming to Australia. It was originally registered in Japan as JA9536, then in the USA as N652LH, then Canada as C-FWOR before becoming VH-JJY[2] on 14 November 2008. It made a one-day-only appearance at the Australian International Airshow where it flew a water-bombing demo with a number of other fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Delivered in August 1945 as TB-25J 45-8811, this aircraft became N9621C in 1958. As such it went through many owners, initially as a sprayer and later as a warbird, until coming to France in 1992 as F‑AZID. In January 2005 this Mitchell became HB-RDE and it is seen here shortly before returning to France as F-AZZU in June 2009. Unfortunately it suffered a major accident on 31 May 2011, when an engine fire forced it to make a wheels-up landing in a field near Villaroche, Melun, France. The B-25 sustained severe damage to the rear fuselage, left wing, and both engines, and its current status is unclear. Apologies for the obtrusive fences in the photo.
