The second VH-TVR (the first completed in TAA colours was not taken up but eventually came to Australia as RAAF A6-435). First flown 19/11/58 as a V.818 model and delivered to Cubana Airlines as CU-T622. Purchased by Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) on 15/3/62 and converted to V.816 standard. WFU on 28/12/69 but briefly returned to service from 1/3/70 to 4/4/70 before retiring with 21213 hours of flight time. TAA donated the aircraft to the Moorabbin Air Museum in June 1970 but due to lack of space it was stored off site for 17 years before returning to Moorabbin for static display (minus tail).

Canberra A84-226 first flew on October 28, 1955, and was delivered to No 82 Wing on April 24, 1956. It was transferred to No 2 Squadron on July 13, 1971. Approved for disposal on November 19, 1971, but on December 8 of that year it was approved as a training aid for use at RAAF Wagga, New South Wales, where it remained until gifted to the Australian National Aviation Museum by RAAF Heritage in February 2016, and in June of that year it was transported to the Australian National Aviation Museum where it has been restored and is on display.

This was the day we rolled out Australia's oldest surviving CAC CA-1 Wirraway to the public on its 75th Anniversary. We were very proud of the restoration and the fact we brought the aircraft back to ground running condition again. Today it is safely undercover and preserved at the ANAM at Moorabbin Victoria.

Built by GAF in Australia under licence and delivered on 1 September 1966. Served in various units until allocated to GAF for reduction to spares on 30 September 1986, 20 years and 1 month later! The aircraft was on display at the GAF factory at Fisherman's Bend for some time, then stored at Avalon until acquired by the Moorabbin Air Museum.

Originally destined for New Zealand (as ZK-CHD), this Airtourer was instead delivered as VH-MTB to the Royal Aero Club of South Australia in March 1965. Re-registered as VH-BWI in November 1965. Preserved in this attractive, if not entirely accurate, colour scheme.
