Pulling the latest thing in light twins out of the static park after WOI 18. This is the Hawker Pacific demonstrator, registered new in Australia on 1 August 2016. The DA62 is powered by two Jet A1-burning Austro AE300 diesel engines - a good thing given the increasing price and scarcity of Avgas.

Built by de Havilland Australia and delivered to the RAAF on 30 September 1952. Served with 2 OTU then 21 (City of Melbourne) Squadron. Placed into general reserve 1960, then in 1963 approval was given to convert the aircraft for display purposes by removing the wings, tailbooms and engine, and blanking off the wing roots/intakes. The nose section was subsequently used for recruiting purposes. Subsequent history uncertain, but currently on display at HARS.
