I'm not keen on modern fighter aircraft but have to say the performance put on by this F-35, one of 72 ordered by Australia and operated from RAAF base Williamtown, was nothing short of spectacular and enough to give UK airshow validators an apoplectic fit! At the amazing Adelaide Valio 500 car race event.

One of many CAC-built MB-326 all-through jet trainers used by the RAAF, A7-026 was assigned to the CFS at East Sale in 1968 and later flew with the 'Roulettes' aerobatic team. It crashed in August 1985 at Saltash but like several of the type, it ended its service life as a ground instructional airframe with the RSTT at Wagga Wagga. Acquired by the SAAM in 2004. The Macchi's service life in Australia was cut short by structural fatigue and while some were re-winged in 1990, all remaining aircraft were withdrawn by 2001
