This lovely aircraft was the winner of the Concours d'Elegance and Best Tube and Fabric awards at the SAAA's 2008 'Escape to Cowra' fly-in. It's seen here getting airborne in the capable hands of owner-builder Rainer Huefner for a display at the Houdini-Centenary Air Show. As Rainer was careful to point out to me, this aircraft is not a One Design as it departs in some respects from the strict requirements for that classification.

Auster J.1 Autocrat VH-AUO made its first public post-restoration appearance at the Houdini-Centenary Air Show at Melton. Initially registered G-AJIM, the aircraft went to Denmark in 1948 as OY-AAK. It returned to the UK in 1961, but was exported to Australia in 1971 and registered VH-AUO. Trailered to Melbourne from Perth over a week, its recent restoration in the hands of father and son team Frank and Scott Snibson took two years. The aircraft retains its 100 hp Cirrus Minor.

This 1960 Aero Commander has had an interesting life. Originally registered in South Africa as ZS-CPG, it then transferred to the Kenyan Register as VP-KPY (later 5Y-KPY when Kenya changed from the British colonial series). In 1975 it came to Australia, being registered on 24 October that year. It's currently based at Melton and did a number of pleasure flights during the Houdini-Centenary Air Show - seen here backtracking after one of them.

Named 'Wally', this pretty Aeronca Chief was built in 1946 and registered N86399. It was brought to Australia in 1989 and based in the Sydney area, registered VH-NTE. It had 1400 hours in the log book at the time. Subsequently it passed through several owners, one of whom transferred it to the RAAus Register on 15 June 1999. It ended up in Parkes, from where the present owner obtained it. It's currently based Riddells Creek. Seen here departing after the Houdini Centenary Air Show.
