Donated to the museum. This aircraft had flown with Qantas from 1948 to 1960, initially as VH-EAP and later as VH-EBY. Sold to TAA as VH-SBG and later P2-SBG and P2-ANP with Air Niugini. Became N5590A in 1980 before returning to Australian ownership in 1982 as VH-BPL. Made its last flight in January 1993 to Hoxton Park near Sydney. Plans to operate the aircraft ended when the owner passed away. Condition of the aircraft deteriorated. By the time it was donated it was could not be made airworthy and had to be trucked to Longreach. Photo by: David Caughey

The pushback seen from my aircraft during a transit stop.

Arriving for the last International Air Tattoo at Greenham Common. Painted in a special colour scheme for 40 years of 322 sqn. Destroyed in a fatal crash on takeoff from Leeuwarden later in 1983.

With special "Team USA" livery. To be delivered as N521DN.

The Fleetwings Model 36 was a plywood skinned aerial target which was given the military designation PQ-12A. It was powered by a Lycoming O-435 of 225 hp and could be manually flown for testing & evaluation when designated as the YPQ-12A. Two examples of the YPQ-12A (41-39051 plus another) are in the background. A protrusion hanging down from the right hand wing, as seen here, housed a TV camera that fed images to a mother-ship for remote guidance to intercept an enemy aircraft. Another photo taken at the same time as this one shows the cover off and a 500 lb bomb in the pilot's position. In October 1943 the aircraft successfully downed a test drone over the Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range. Photo from: William Engle via Tim Martin
