After military service, this Albatros initially went to South Africa where it was registered in the experimental block as ZU-BZA in October 1999. In 2002 it came to Australia, initially being based in Perth, and was re-registered VH-LQT on 2 August that year. Early the following year, on 2 January 2003, it was re-registered VH-HOT. This lasted until 12 June 2007 when it was re-registered again as VH-IOT(3). Seen here at Wings Over the Illawarra 2016.

One of two farm aircraft at Langwell, south of Broken Hill, this 1967 C172 was initially registered N2611L. It was probably just a "trade plate" as the aircraft was re-registered in Australia on 25 August that year. Currently in storage, engineless, on the farm.

Boeing demonstration pilot Ricardo Traven brings the Super Hornet back from a demo flight at the Australian International Airshow with some lucky VIP in the back seat. This aircraft seems to be regularly used around the world by Boeing to show off the impressive Super Hornet.

This aircraft is very rare as only six J.5R Alpines were built in total, and this is one of only two in Australia. It was registered new in the UK as G-APCX on 26 June 1957 and subsequently passed through a number of owners, including the College of Aeronautics, Cranfield. In 1978 it was imported into Australia along with a number of other UK Austers by the late Sander Veenstra and registered VH-KBV on 23 February 1979. Withdrawn from service in '82: in '87 commenced a rebuild, flying again April '88.

The oldest airworthy aeroplane in Australia, this was also the first Moth to be exported from the UK, being first registered in Australia as G-AUAE on 5 November 1925 to the Civil Aviation Branch, Department of Defence. It was re-registered as VH-UAE in 1930. In later years it was re-built to DH-60G standard and is preserved in immaculate condition today at Walcha, NSW. Seen here at, fittingly, the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.

This was one of the replacement Trackers acquired by the RAN after the disastrous 1976 Nowra hangar fire. It is ex-USN Bu 153567 and retained that as the basis of its RAN serial. The aircraft was withdrawn from use on 12 August 1984 and sold. It was acquired as a training aid by Melbourne's Kangan TAFE in February 1994. In November 2013 it was acquired by the Vietnam Veterans Museum at Phillip Island, Vic.

On the pad for a medical retrieval. Tidal River is located on Wilson's Promontory, one of the most beautiful places in Victoria, and this was the third visit in four days for the air ambulance chopper. The previous day they had to winch a heatstroke victim off one of the walking tracks. VH-VAB carries titles both as 'Helimed 1', its ATC callsign, and as 'HEMS 2' (HEMS 1 being Polair 35, based at Essendon, and HEMS 3 being based at Bendigo). Helimed 1 is based at Latrobe Valley aerodrome.

Shep, looking south down the 1328 m Runway 18. There is also a 423 m gravel 09/27. Note the new development on the left, starting to encroach on the airport boundary. Shep doesn't have any scheduled services and, apart from considerable General Aviation activity the main aerodrome user is the Air Ambulance.

Located on the northern outskirts of Melbourne, most of the hangars at this private strip have only gone up in the last few years. Likewise, the westernmost runway (left, in this photo) has only been added fairly recently as the eastern (parallell) runway gets pretty boggy in winter. (Note: Wallan aerodrome closed in 2008.)
