This BA Swallow (licence-built from the Klemm L-25) was registered new in Australia on 1 November 1935. It was off the Register between 1947-57, and withdrawn from use in 1965 and donated to the Moorabbin Air Museum. In 2014 the Swallow returned to the register following a rebuild but it was withdrawn from use again in 2020 to become a static exhibit.

For a time I was the display manager at the ANAM, we have DAP built Beaufighter A8-328 on display. Painted as A8-39 the aircraft is the last Beaufighter in the world capable of running. I took this shot to highlight its sheer awesome-looking power.

The oldest complete aircraft in the Moorabbin Aviation Museum collection, this Gipsy Moth was built in 1929. In its flying "career", it made two round trips to New Guinea, delivered HERALD newspaper in Victoria, and saw military service in WW2

The sole SC1 was designed and built by Southern Cross Aviation and flown in 1961. It was intended to be a four-seat touring and training aircraft powered by a 180 h.p. Lycoming O-360. After 25 hours testing it was decided that it could not realistically compete with such as Cessna. It was stored and acquired by the Moorabbin-based museum for display for a period, before retuning to its Toowoomba Queensland birthplace. The "VH-SCA" markings were unofficial.
