This immaculate Navajo Panther is used on charter work and was waiting for some passengers at Bendigo. Note the new winglets, cowlings and four-bladed Q-tip props of the Panther conversion. You'd hardly guess the aeroplane was a quarter century old. It crashed and was destroyed after a night takeoff at Bathurst, NSW on 7th November 2008 with pilot disorientation suspected as the cause.

This aircraft is the only one of its kind in Australia. Only two were ever imported, the other (VH-WWL) having been burnt in 1966. VH-WWE was registered new in Australia on 5 November 1962. The Rangemaster was a 5-seat development of the earlier North American, later Ryan, Navion produced immediately after the Second World War. The tip-tanks are a prominent recognition feature.

Parasol-wing, monoplanes are pretty rare at the best of times. This is the first, and so far only, Mk II version of the Sprite, built by Doug Pardew. The Mk I aircraft had a lovely boomerang-shaped wing but was otherwise similar. The only problem is, I wouldn't fit in it!

Originally registered with RAAus on 1 December 1989 as 10-1155 but still under construction. Re-registered as 19-1155 on 1 January 1995 but only flown fairly recently. It's very fast but quite a handful to fly.

Designed and built to an RAAF order, this Winjeel (aboriginal for Young Eagle) made its first flight at CAC's Fishermans Bend aerodrome on 19 April 1956 before being delivered to the RAAF as A85-420. It became an instructional airframe at the RAAF School of Technical Training at Wagga from 1980 to '96. It was then sold to warbird enthusiast Bob Eastgate and stored, fittingly, at Point Cook 1997-2001. Acquired by the present owner in 2003 and restored at Tyabb until 2005.
