This Stearman was built for the US Navy as an N2S-3, BuAer 07858. Post-war it was civilianised as N5004V. Joe Baugher reports the fuselage was noted derelict in external storage at Brownfield, TX in July 1986. The US registration was cancelled on 31 December 1992 on export to Australia. Following restoration, it was registered VH-PWS(3) on 14 March 1995 as VH-PWS. It wears its USN Bu number as a fictitious USAAF serial, '41-07858'.

This Air Tractor was registered new in Australia as VH-FFM(4) on 7 October 2011. Confusingly, VH-FFM(3) was also a different AT-802! It's had three spells on the Canadian register for the northern summers as C-GYBX: 24 April to 9 November 2012; 26 April to 18 November 2013; and 28 April to 5 November 2014.

This Tiger was built by De Havilland Australia to an RAF order, but entered service with the RAAF under its RAF serial T5531. Post-war, it became VH-ATD on 1 June 1946. It was re-registered as VH-RNL on 5 April 1955, then VH-CXV on 11 September 1961. It seems to have had a re-bag since last photographed for the database.

Believe it or not, this 1966 Cessna 150F was registered new in Australia on 28 June 1966 as VH-DFD(3) - the previous (short-lived) owners of this identity being a Skylane and a Centurion! Previously it was N7169F, but this was probably just a 'trade plate'.
