This historic aircraft is 100 years old in 2025. It was the first D.H.60 Moth to be exported from the UK, and the first of many to be imported into Australia. It was registered to the Civil Aviation Branch of the Department of Defence as G-AUAE on 5 November 1925, the first of at least 36 Moths loaned to the Aero Club movement to support pilot and engineer training. Re-registered VH-UAE in 1929 and impressed into the RAAF as A7-88 during the Second World War. This un-airworthy fuselage was left over from a 1980s rebuild and is preserved as a non-flying relic.

The SeaBear has a unique access method: a walkway from the stern, between the twin fins and underneath the tailplane, to the rear of the cabin. Odd, but very practical when beached.

This SeaRey was originally N384GP. It was re-registered in Australia as VH-XWW(2) on 6 May 2010. On 22 March 2015 the aircraft was damaged at Lake Eyre SA and it did not return to the Register until 24 October 2017. Since last photographed for the database the aircraft has acquired a modified colour scheme with extensive signwriting reflecting, among other things, an around-Australia flight in 2024 to commemorate the centenary of the first circumnavigation of Australia by air.

This SeaRey was originally N384GP. It was re-registered in Australia as VH-XWW(2) on 6 May 2010. On 22 March 2015 the aircraft was damaged at Lake Eyre SA and it did not return to the Register until 24 October 2017. Since last photographed for the database the aircraft has acquired a modified colour scheme with extensive signwriting reflecting, among other things, an around-Australia flight in 2024 to commemorate the centenary of the first circumnavigation of Australia by air.

2001 built Bombardier Global Express that was d/d in September 2002 to the Royal Malaysia Air Force as M48-02. 22.5 years later, she surprised us Melburnians today by flying in to Essendon, from Subang, Malaysia. It still looks immaculate, especially under some Autumnal sun.
