Built in 1959 as a genuine nosedragger Tri-Pacer, it was registered new in Australia as VH-PSW. Rebuilt as a taildragger and up-engined, it seems to have been re-registered in December 1985. Registration was subsequently changed to VH-PCR(2) to free the original rego for a new RV-7 being built.

Alliance put the big Fokker through its paces again with an impressive display as 'Unity 991' at the Wide Bay International Airshow. This aircraft has had a long history, initially as PH-EZF, then to USAir as N864US, then temporarily to PH-CXG, then to Germaina and Air Berlin as D-AGPG. Acquired by Alliance in 2010 and registered VH-XWR on 14 September that year.

Built to a 1951 order (in the days when the USAF ordered more than 17,000 aircraft a year) and delivered in 1952 as an L-19A-CE, serial 51-12001. I don't know the exact history of this aircraft, but it seems likely that it eventually went to the R Thai AF before being 'demobbed' and exported to Australia, becoming VH-LQX on 28 August 1991. It's currently based at Essendon and regularly flies IFR.

After the war it was civilianised and became ZK-ALB and served with Mt Cook Airlines before being exported to Australia in 1971 to become VH-IAN, later VH-UTV.

This 1959 short-wing Piper was built as a Caribbean but has obviously been converted at some stage to Pacer standard. It was originally registered as N9826D until, briefly, being exported to the UK. It was registered G-BUBZ on 10 April 1992 but a little over a year later exported to Australia and de-registered on 18 June 1993. It must have undergone a restoration as it was not registered in Australia as VH-BRG(3) until 20 June 2002.

Built by de Havilland Australia and delivered to the RAAF on 30 September 1952. Served with 2 OTU then 21 (City of Melbourne) Squadron. Placed into general reserve 1960, then in 1963 approval was given to convert the aircraft for display purposes by removing the wings, tailbooms and engine, and blanking off the wing roots/intakes. The nose section was subsequently used for recruiting purposes. Subsequent history uncertain, but currently on display at HARS.
