A very picturesque spot is Kolovyata Springs, near the town of Aksakovo, north west of Varna. This MiG-17 looks like it made a perfect wheels up landing here. Its real serial is 85.

This Polish-built MiG-17F was imported to Australia by 1991 and appeared on the airshow circuit before entering the FAA Museum at Nowra where it was displayed for many years outdoors. By 2011 it was indoors having been painted in this glossy camouflage and was on show next to a Singapore Hunter, both of which have since been removed.

One of 30 Trackers supplied to the RAN using their USN BuNos as the main part of the serial, N12-152812 operated from April 1977 till August 1984. The 16 S-2Gs were replacement aircraft for 14 S-2Es, (several of which were lost in a deliberately lit hangar fire at Nowra in December 1976) and were often deployed by 816 Sqdn aboard HMAS Melbourne. In February 1990 it went to Qantas as a training aid, moving on to HARS in November 2006 where the long term aim is a return to airworthy condition alongside their flyable S-2E N12-153600 and S-2G N12-152333

One of 27 Wessex helicopters operated by the RAN between 1962 and 1989. It was damaged in a forced landing on a beach near Rockhampton in November 1974 and was airlifted out by a Chinook. Returned to service and lastly used as a training aid at Wagga Wagga, it entered the FAA Museum at Nowra in 2015 later moving on to HARS. N7-226 is now displayed instead at Nowra.

This Victor first flew in November 1959 and spent its entire career as a test frame based at Radlett, Boscombe Down and Bedford. It was placed into storage at Radlett in November 1968 but, after plans for tanker conversion fell through, SOC in October 1975 with 243 test flights to be then used as a spares source. In August 1983 the gutted hulk was scrapped with only the cockpit saved for preservation. This was bought by SWAM and will be restored to display condition, especially important as this is the last surviving section of any B.2, the others being B.1s or K.2 tanker conversions.

In July 1954 A94-901 was the first Sabre to enter RAAF service. It was the second Avon Sabre built following the prototype and served with various squadrons. From 1961 to 1965 it was part of the 76 Sqdn 'Black Panthers' aerobatic team based at RAAF Williamtown and was struck off charge in 1966, then used as a gate guardian at Fishermans Bend. After being displayed at the Mildura Warbirds Museum, Vic, it was externally restored by Hawker de Havilland at Bankstown, moving to HARS in late 2006

The last of a batch of twelve SP-2H Neptunes supplied under MDAP to Australia in 1962, allocated BuNo 149081 and becoming A89-281 on arrival for service with 10 Sqdn RAAF Townsville. Flown to Amberley for disposal at the end of 1977 and taken in by the Chewing Gum Field Museum, QLD for static display. Trucked to Archerfield Airport in 1990. Although registration VH-NEP was reserved it was not taken up and was eventually dismantled between 2003 and 2005 having been donated to HARS, becoming the third Neptune in the collection and providing spares for their flying aircraft.

This Sea Fury arrived in Australia as deck cargo aboard HMAS Vengeance in 1952 and served the RAN till 1959 when it was installed in a test rig at the National Building Technology Centre in Sydney, used as a wind machine to test building materials. In 1986 it was placed at the Australian War Memorial near Canberra but next year went into store until trucked as a stripped airframe to Nowra in 1998 where it was used in the restoration to flight of Sea Fury VW623, then being placed on static display in the FAA Museum. Moved to HARS in 2020 where it is intended to return it to flight again.

Parked alongside similar aircraft A4-210, 234 served the RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam from 1965 and was the last Australian aircraft out of Vietnam, flying home in February 1972. Both Caribous were retired from service in late 2009 with around 19,000 flight hours each. They were kept in open air storage at Oakey until 2011 when HARS successfully won the tender for the two aircraft plus spares. Both remain in flying condition.
