Getting a wash before flying... This aircraft was built in 1958 and imported into Australia a few years later, being registered VH-DUE on 26 March 1964. By 1976 it was in a bad state at Rockhampton but was trucked to Victoria for restoration, as seen here.

Not great quality, but an interesting view of Essendon looking north-west before all the big development of recent years commenced: no DFO, no office blocks, no car yards! Pretty much as it was, in fact, after the airlines moved up to Tullamarine in 1971. Incidentally, you can just make out Melbourne/Tullamarine in the distance at top right.

This late-production Australian Tiger came on RAAF strength in Nov 1944 as A17-746 but went straight to storage at Tamworth. Post-war, it was used at Wagga and Uranquinty until 1953. Sold ex Tocumwal storage on 15 April 1954 to Rockampton Aero Club and registered VH-CEJ. Rebuilt in 1968 by Cec Heit and registered VH-CES, she was rebuilt again in 1982 and reverted to VH-CEJ. On the Register with an erroneous "T" rebuild cn. In 2007 she force-landed in a swamp at Tooradin and was badly damaged during the recovery effort.

This Wirraway was not brought on RAAF charge, as A20-722, until right at the very end of the Second World War, in August 1945. It served until 1958 when it was sold and eventually recovered from a farm near Horsham, Vic. It was restored to flying condition by Borg Sorensen between 1984 and 2002. Registered VH-CAC(4), it made its first post-restoration flight on 8 June 2002. It made its last flight on 28 April 2018 on delivery to the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre.

This aircraft was actually built as AT-6C Harvard Mk II, USAAF 41-33767, to an RAF order (EX794). It was, however, shipped straight to New Zealand in August 1943 and became NZ1051. It served with the RNZAF until 1978 when it was sold. It flew for a time in these fake Japanese markings before being repainted into a non-authentic but stunning US Navy colour scheme.
