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.

Built to USAAF order as 44-41956 but delivered to the RAAF in 1945 as A72-176. Disposed of for scrap in 1948, the fuselage of this Liberator was recovered from a farm near Sale where it had been since 1952. Restoration commenced in 1988 and considerable progress has been made. The airframe is substantially complete inside and out (although the tailplane and fins are stored separately for the time being). It's a big beast and the B-24 Memorial crew have done a magnificent job.
