This beautiful, magnificent and historic beast has recently emerged from restoration to fly again. Powered by a Lycoming R-680 of 245 hp, she was imported by Vacuum Oil (later Mobil, as you can see under the wings) and registered on 13 Oct 1936. Used as a utility aircraft until sold in 1939. Impressed by RAAF 1941 as A38-1. Demobbed and sold 1948. Several owners until re-registered VH-KAF 1957. Ended up in Drage Airworld museum at Wangaratta & sold to present owner several years ago when museum collapsed.

Just shutting down the outers on arrival for static display at the Australian International Airshow. This aircraft was built as a P-3C and allocated the USN Bu 162664 for administrative purposes. It initially carried the Lockheed flight-test reg N64854 before delivery to the RAAF as A9-664 on 30 April 1986, the second-last RAAF P-3C. Later converted to AP-3C standard. Currently with 92 Wing based at RAAF Edinburgh.

These 'Flying Pencils' are nocturnal and usually parked during the day where they can't be got at, so it was a lucky break to see this one parked by the fence. First registered in Australia on 10 December 1996, this 1983-model was formerly N3113T and N567UP.

This aircraft certainly gets around! Flown around the world solo in 2002, hence the world map on the fuselage. Normally based in Queensland, but seen here at the Narromine Airshow.

Jeff Trappett's magnificent new Sabre at WOI 14. Jeff later flew it in a stiff crosswind that kept almost everybody else on the ground. The CAC Sabre was powered by a RR Avon with additional thrust and had significantly improved hitting power with two 30mm Aden cannon. Delivered to the RAAF on 28 Jan 1960. Allocated to the Indonesian TNI-AU as F-8606 but crashed Denpasar, Bali, on delivery in Feb 1973. Retained by the RAAF until acquired by Jeff in 1982. First flight after long-term rebuild 21 Sep 13.

A blast from the past! This aircraft was originally registered OK-OHC but came to Australia in 1962, the only one of its type ever to do so. After a spell on charter operations, it was acquired by Ansett-ANA. It spent 1966 in New Guinea operating with Ansett-MAL. Withdrawn in 1967, it passed through a succession of private hands until ending up at HARS for restoration and re-painting in this attractive original scheme. Seen here at Wings Over the Illawarra 2011.

The Luton Minor has its origins in the 1930s and was one of the foundations of the homebuilt movement in post-War Britain. This one was built in NSW between 1965-95 and is currently based at Locksley, Vic, from where it regularly flies all over the Australian eastern seaboard. It's powered by a VW and has an endurance of about 5 hours (range 300 NM). Good to see Peter out and about again!
