This unique aircraft was the only one of its kind ever made. Originally built as the only Blackburn-engined, aerobatic J.5K G-AMYI, 23 Feb 53. Converted to Gipsy-engined J.8L in '54 - a development of the J.5F Aiglet Trainer with centrally positioned flap lever and light alloy sheeting to the two inboard bays of the tailplane. Used as company demonstrator till '55. Sold to Australia '77 becoming VH-UYQ. Third rebuild completed the day before this shot was taken.

Orginally an RAAF base, Mangalore was developed after the Second World War as a diversion aerodrome for when Melbourne/Essendon was fogged in, its location north of the Great Dividing Range giving it good weather when the weather in Melbourne was bad. The field is much as it was then, except the hangars closest in the photo which are of relatively recent construction. The nearest runway is 1461m 18/36 with 2027m 05/23 behind, the photo looking west.

One of the best strips around Melbourne - looking down the 4,500 ft runway 18 with the town of Sunbury at upper left. Note the Sting crossing the intersection with 4,000 ft runway 12/30. Since there are a lot of ultralights based here contra-circuits are in use with ultralights to the East and GA to the West.
