Scarcely a trace remains of the 50+ aircraft that attended the Antique Aeroplane Asociation of Australia's Christmas Toy Run. The Toy Run is a fly-in which collects toys for charity distribution to kids who otherwise wouldn't get much for Christmas. Lethbridge Airpark is situated between Lethbridge and Meredith on the Geelong-Ballarat Road and, as you can see, has two well-maintained grass runways.

This 'new addition' to the King Island Airlines fleet is the former VH-DMV. It was first registered in Australia on 17 January 1975, probably new (or not far off). Before that it was allocated the US rego N61477.

Delivered to Australia as ZK-EAY and delivered to the RAAF as A19-062 on 21 January 1976. Retired and sold into civil hands and registered VH-PKY on 3 September 1993. Acquired by well-known warbird restorer Matt Denning and returned to immaculate condition in the original green and gold 'Plastic Parrot' scheme. Re-registered VH-CTQ(3) on 16 February 2010. Looking great here at the RAAF 90th Anniversary Air Pilgrimage.

This aircraft was built to an order from Virgin Blue and first flew on 20 Feb 2004. It was registered VH-VOR on 17 March that year. After just over a year and a half it was transferred to VB subsidiary Pacific Blue and re-registered ZK-PBF on 17 Oct 2005. As you can see it is currently operating in Polynesian Blue titles, another subsidiary of VB.

Final for Kyabram's Runway 19. This former Australian Army aircraft still carries a few reminders of its military origins on the panel, such as the blue rocket sequencer at top right. Thanks for the ride, Murray!

Final for Kyabram's Runway 19. This former Australian Army aircraft still carries a few reminders of its military origins on the panel, such as the blue rocket sequencer at top right. Thanks for the ride, Murray!

This 1985 Yak 52 appears to have been 77/blue with the DOSAAF before gaining civil registration in Ukraine as UR-BNW. It seems to have later become ES-XYA in Sweden before coming to Australia and being re-registered VH-YGC on 24 November 2004. Seen here at the start of the RAAF 90th Anniversary Air Pilgrimage.

'Helitak 334' or 'Little Elvis' (a reference to the Skycrane 'Elvis' - N179AC - that has been in Victoria for the last few summers), off on a local 'blow out the cobwebs' flight. This helo was built in 1991 and registered in Japan as JA6660. Imported to Australia in 1999, it was registered on 1 June that year. Under the belly is a tank for 1200 litres of water and 60 litres of foaming agent.
