Displayed and signed in the Ballarat Aviation Museum as A20-502, complete with 'combat history', this aircraft is really A20-511 with a much more prosaic life story. Brought on RAAF charge on 22 January 1942, it was allocated to 5 Squadron, but passed on to 5 SFTS prior to the former unit moving overseas. Eventually allocated to CFS at East Sale as an instructional airframe, 1956-59. Disposed of an stripped for parts at West Sale - remains recovered in January 1962. Restored at Moorabbin until 1970.

What a tragedy to see this historic aircraft semi-derelict and de-registered. She was one of two 560s purchased by the Department of Civil Aviation and registered on 30 March 1959, one of the first of the new breed of post-war, high-performance light twins to come to Australia. The layout of the cockpit is original, but many instruments are replacements, as is most of the avionic equipment.

Built to a 1951 order (in the days when the USAF ordered more than 17,000 aircraft a year) and delivered in 1952 as an L-19A-CE, serial 51-12001. I don't know the exact history of this aircraft, but it seems likely that it eventually went to the R Thai AF before being 'demobbed' and exported to Australia, becoming VH-LQX on 28 August 1991. It's currently based at Essendon and owned by an Aviation Medical Examiner who uses it to fly, IFR, every Tuesday to Echuca for a clinic.

This aircraft was built in 1938 as one of 6 model ST-A Specials for the Guatemalan Air Force. It was recovered to the USA from Guatemala in 1958. Registered N17351, it may never have flown as such. It seems to have been re-registered in 1986 as N17347. Imported to Australia in 2012 and restored as a Honduran Air Force gunnery trainer, complete with machine gun blisters, it was registered VH-SQD on 10 December 2015. Seen here at the 2016 Tyabb Airshow.

Designed and built to an RAAF order, this Winjeel (aboriginal for Young Eagle) made its first flight at CAC's Fishermans Bend aerodrome on 19 April 1956 before being delivered to the RAAF as A85-420. It became an instructional airframe at the RAAF School of Technical Training at Wagga from 1980 to '96. It was then sold to warbird enthusiast Bob Eastgate and stored, fittingly, at Point Cook 1997-2001. Acquired by the present owner in 2003 and restored at Tyabb until 2005.
