Gday all
Just returned from the Temora flying museum in NSW, where every six weeks they have a flying day...
Some of their stuff is great..
~A fully restored Spitfire Mk. VIII, complete with sharks' teeth... Apparently only one squadron had these, operating out of Morotai in '44...
~The only Hudson still flying in the world [amazing]
~The only flying Gloster Meteor
~Vampire
~Wirraway and Harvard
~Tigermoth and Ryan
~2 X Dragonflys
Highlight had to be the Spitfire roaring past, and the Hudson!
Soon as my CPU is up and running I'll post some pics for perusal:)
Cheers
Brad
