This 1960 Aero Commander has had an interesting life. Originally registered in South Africa as ZS-CPG, it then transferred to the Kenyan Register as VP-KPY (later 5Y-KPY when Kenya changed from the British colonial series). In 1975 it came to Australia, being registered on 24 October that year. It's currently based at Melton and did a number of pleasure flights during the Houdini-Centenary Air Show - seen here backtracking after one of them.

This 1985 Metro has an interesting history. Originally N614AV with Air Virginia, which became Nashville Eagle. Then went to Flagship Airlines, then Wings West. In 1987 was being operated for American Eagle. At some stage it was reacquired by the manufacturer and converted to the prototype Fairchild Multi Mission Surveillance Aircraft, carrying a phased-array radar in a long pod under the fuselage. Returned to standard configuration and exported to Australia, becoming VH-SSZ on 29 September 1994. VH-EES since Jul 2001.

Stopping at Langwell on the way home from the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally at Broken Hill was Graeme Smith's newly-restored Auster J.5F Aiglet Trainer VH-BYF(2). The aircraft made its first flight following a decade-long restoration to immaculate condition only a week before the event. It has an interesting pedigree, being a composite of the fuselage of the former VH-BYE and the wings of VH-SAE, which was originally registered VH-BYF(1) in 1953!

Still in its South African Air Force markings, this Bosbok took part in the flying displays at the Wide Bay International Airshow. Forty Bosboks were delivered to the SAAF during 1972-74, this one being '951'. Following retirement, it was civil registered in South Africa as ZU-ACS on 20 October 1992. Sold in Australia it was re-registered VH-BTZ on 23 August 2001, initially based near Melbourne. It's currently Queensland-based.

Canberra Tower is located on the RAAF Fairbairn side of the airport, although it's civilian operated. It's built on the corner of one of the late-1930s vintage RAAF hangars.
