This Skylark was photographed at its home base. The 'C' Skylark featured a few new goodies such as a constant-speed prop. This aircraft also has the Horton Stol-Craft STOL kit incorporated, which includes leading edge cuffs, conical camber wingtips and aileron seals. The optional flap gap seals aren't fitted. This Skylark was registered new in Australia on 10 April 1962 as VH-ALK(2), and later became VH-RBP for a while. It was formerly allocated but never wore the US reg N8392T.

The much-loved Pig made it's last Australian International Airshow appearance in 2009. This was one of three on flying and static display. Wearing 6 Squadron markings, this aircraft was delivered to the RAAF on 1 June 1973. It was the first of four later converted to RF-111C standard - you can see the camera fairing where the bomb-bay used to be.

This Moth Minor is actually a pre-war civil import. It was allocated the UK rego G-AFNN to the Hull Aero Club in 1939 but appears to have been deregistered the same day. It was registered VH-ACR on 17 Jan '40 until impressed as the last of the RAAF's Moth Minors A21-42 in Nov '41. Returned after the war to VH-ACR '45 until withdrawn in '47. Restored at Caboolture '03-'08. Seen here getting airborne for a display at the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.
