This Tiger was built by De Havilland Australia to an RAF order, but entered service with the RAAF under its RAF serial T5531. Post-war, it became VH-ATD on 1 June 1946. It was re-registered as VH-RNL on 5 April 1955, then VH-CXV on 11 September 1961. It seems to have had a re-bag since last photographed for the database.

Believe it or not, this 1966 Cessna 150F was registered new in Australia on 28 June 1966 as VH-DFD(3) - the previous (short-lived) owners of this identity being a Skylane and a Centurion! Previously it was N7169F, but this was probably just a 'trade plate'.

This old Cessna 180 has been around a bit. It was originally N7892A, then CF-JHU (later C-FJHU), then N8956Q before being registered VH-MTF(5) on 14 May 2010. She looks better than new!

This Karatoo has a pretty unusual background, having been originally registered with RAAus as 28-1937. On 16 December 1998 it was re-registered on the main Register as VH-TAO(4), remaining as such until 24 April 2003 when it became 28-1964.

This Chippie has had a long and convoluted history. It was originally built for the RAF as WB616, then civilianised in the UK as G-AOSC. In 1957 it was imported by the Latrobe Valley Aero Club and appropriately registered VH-MOE(1) on 17 April that year. A year later it was sold to the Goulburn Aero Club, who re-registered it VH-GAH on 13 June 1961. The following year it was sold to the RACSA who re-registered it VH-BWM(2) on 24 August 1962. And another year later again it was sold to a private owner and re-registered VH-UEU(1) on 1 November 1963.
