Buccaneer 'Glen Elgin' was photographed as part of the display aircraft collection at the Yorkshire Air Museum. It is a very interesting museum with welcoming, friendly staff. Well worth a visit when anywhere near York.

Photographed at the Yorkshire Air Museum Night Shoot. The original plan was to have the Mossie outside but due to the bad weather, and the fact that the plane isn't waterproof, it was kept in the hangar. This worked out well though as it made for some nice shots with some of the museum's collection in the background. This aircraft was moved to Doncaster in 2017

Photographed at the Yorkshire Air Museum Night Shoot. Actually this plane wasn't being directly illuminated rather it sat beside the Victor that was bathed in orange, sodium light. This really is N-268.

This was the last Parrot delivered to the RAAF, on 25 June 1982, and ferried as ZK-EUZ. It has been retained for the RAAF Museum and is seen here bringing the Museum pilots to Melton for an early-morning briefing before the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.

Warren Stewart rolling at the Houdini-Centenary Air Show. Together with aerobatic legend Chris Sperou in Pitts VH-XPS, Warren in VH-GIP forms one half of the Skyblazers formation aerobatics team. This aircraft was registered new on 28 June 1962 - Warren reckons he probably helped to assemble it when he worked for importer De Havilland Australia at Bankstown in the '60s!

This immaculate aircraft was in the hands of the same owner for 30 years until sold a couple of years ago. It's currently Moorabbin-based and preserved pretty much exactly as it was when it was built in 1966. Originally registered N1467F, it probably never wore that rego as it was registered in Australia on 27 October 1966. Seen here departing after the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.

This Moth Minor 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 '40 until impressed as the last of the RAAF's Moth Minors A21-42 in Nov '41. Returned after the war to VH-ACR '45 until withdrawn in '47. Restored at Caboolture '03-'08. Seen here getting airborne for a display at the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.

My old mate Tony Curzon departing in 'Struts' after the Houdini-Centenary airshow. This aircraft was the third strut-braced Drifter built. It was registered on 7 February 1994 and my logbook shows that I first flew it on 27 March, almost brand new!
