This Firefly was delivered to the Royal Navy on 30 June 1950. A couple of years later it was refurbished by Fairey for delivery by sea to the Royal Australian Navy, arriving in Australia in March 1953. In 1961 it was converted to a TT.6 by Brain & Brown at Avalon. After operational use the aircraft was allotted to the Naval Aviation Museum, Nowra where it was eventually restored to airworthy condition, being civil registered as VH-NVU(1) on 30 September 1986. Engine trouble resulted in a short life and the civil registration was cancelled on 31 January 2020.

This Sea Vampire is not what it seems! It is really XG770, a British-built aircraft delivered to the RAN in August 1959. After navy service it was sold to a gentleman who gifted it to the Australian War Memorial. With no wartime service, the AWM didn't take delivery of the aircraft and it was subsequently given to the FAA Museum. At various times it has been displayed wearing its own serial, XA101 and, currently, XG766.

This Winjeel was delivered to the RAAF in November 1957. Retired from military service, it was registered as VH-HWI(1) on 14 March 1989 and operated as a warbird. In April 2006 ownership transferred to the RAAF Museum but the aircraft was withdrawn from operational use on 9 July 2020. It seems to have been swapped with the FAA Museum for the prototype Winjeel, A85-364, which was formerly on display but has since been transferred to the RAAF Base Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre.

Built to USAAF order but delivered to the RAAF in 1945 as A65-72. Disposed of to Adastra Airways in 1959 becoming VH-AGU. In later years with East-West Airlines it became the test aircraft for the Interscan microwave landing system before being retired in 1979. Resurrected in the 1980s, it passed though the hands of a long list of small charter operators before being acquired by Jeff Trappett and restored in USAF gunship markings.

Built to USAAF order but delivered to the RAAF in 1945 as A65-72. Disposed of to Adastra Airways in 1959 becoming VH-AGU. In later years with East-West Airlines it became the test aircraft for the Interscan microwave landing system before being retired in 1979. Resurrected in the 1980s, it passed though the hands of a long list of small charter operators before being acquired by Jeff Trappett and restored in USAF gunship markings.

This BE2a replica was built by Andrew Willox and donated to the RAAF Museum in 2014 to join the Museum's replica Deperdussin and Boxkite. This completes the complement of three aircraft types the Central Flying School first used during 1914-15. This particular version dates from February 1911 and has a wider upper span with some unique modifications to the wings to strengthen them as a one-off.

This Boomerang was built in 1943 but put straight into storage at Oakey until 1948, when it was disposed of. The aircraft was bought by a farmer where the remains resided until 1970 when Harold Thomas recovered the fuselage frame for his Camden Museum of Aviation. It was sold on in 1990 and is currently being restored by Nick Knight at the B-24 Museum.
