Taxying across the apron as 'Unity 990' vacates the runway in the background at the Wide Bay International Airshow. VH-RQH was built in 1965 and registered on 16 March of that year to the Royal Queensland Aero Club in 'their' block. When it was sold on it retained its original rego. At some stage it was upgraded to an Airtourer 150, though it's still on the Register as a 115.

Matt Denning's second, brand-new Boomerang restoration was on static display at the Wide Bay International Airshow. The aircraft is said to be the former A46-63, which crashed at Cape York, Qld, on 24 August 1943 after only 4 months service with 84 Squadron. The restoration included the addition of a second seat, although you wouldn't really know it to look at. The first post-restoraton flight was at Caboolture on 26 June 2009, a week before this photo was taken.
