One of 30 Trackers supplied to the RAN using their USN BuNos as the main part of the serial, N12-152812 operated from April 1977 till August 1984. The 16 S-2Gs were replacement aircraft for 14 S-2Es, (several of which were lost in a deliberately lit hangar fire at Nowra in December 1976) and were often deployed by 816 Sqdn aboard HMAS Melbourne. In February 1990 it went to Qantas as a training aid, moving on to HARS in November 2006 where the long term aim is a return to airworthy condition alongside their flyable S-2E N12-153600 and S-2G N12-152333

In July 1954 A94-901 was the first Sabre to enter RAAF service. It was the second Avon Sabre built following the prototype and served with various squadrons. From 1961 to 1965 it was part of the 76 Sqdn 'Black Panthers' aerobatic team based at RAAF Williamtown and was struck off charge in 1966, then used as a gate guardian at Fishermans Bend. After being displayed at the Mildura Warbirds Museum, Vic, it was externally restored by Hawker de Havilland at Bankstown, moving to HARS in late 2006

The last of a batch of twelve SP-2H Neptunes supplied under MDAP to Australia in 1962, allocated BuNo 149081 and becoming A89-281 on arrival for service with 10 Sqdn RAAF Townsville. Flown to Amberley for disposal at the end of 1977 and taken in by the Chewing Gum Field Museum, QLD for static display. Trucked to Archerfield Airport in 1990. Although registration VH-NEP was reserved it was not taken up and was eventually dismantled between 2003 and 2005 having been donated to HARS, becoming the third Neptune in the collection and providing spares for their flying aircraft.

This Sea Fury arrived in Australia as deck cargo aboard HMAS Vengeance in 1952 and served the RAN till 1959 when it was installed in a test rig at the National Building Technology Centre in Sydney, used as a wind machine to test building materials. In 1986 it was placed at the Australian War Memorial near Canberra but next year went into store until trucked as a stripped airframe to Nowra in 1998 where it was used in the restoration to flight of Sea Fury VW623, then being placed on static display in the FAA Museum. Moved to HARS in 2020 where it is intended to return it to flight again.

Parked alongside similar aircraft A4-210, 234 served the RAAF Transport Flight Vietnam from 1965 and was the last Australian aircraft out of Vietnam, flying home in February 1972. Both Caribous were retired from service in late 2009 with around 19,000 flight hours each. They were kept in open air storage at Oakey until 2011 when HARS successfully won the tender for the two aircraft plus spares. Both remain in flying condition.

This interceptor Mirage was delivered in1966 and served with 75 Sqdn at Butterworth , Malaysia until late 1969, next going to 76 Sqdn at Williamtown for a few years and then 2OCU. Converted to a ground attack variant, it served time with 77 Sqdn before retirement in October 1987 with 4,015 hr on the airframe (initial expected design life was 1,500 hr) and was used as an apprentice training aid at RAAF Wagga Wagga before acquisition by HARS in 2015. Although still in potentially flyable condition, the intention is to return it to taxiing.

This was one of a batch of 10 Neptunes supplied to the Aeronavale in 1959, serving 23F and 25F till transferred to 12S in Tahiti in 1983. Stored at Papeete from 1984, it was acquired by HARS and ferried to Australia in July 1999 under registration N8187Z, being allocated VH-LRR after arrival. After some airshow appearances, in September 1999 it flew from Tamworth to Bankstown and next in January 2003 to the then-new HARS base at the Illawarra Regional Airport where overhaul work continues pending return to airworthiness alongside P2V-7 A87-273 (which is once again flying).
