The SeaBear has a unique access method: a walkway from the stern, between the twin fins and underneath the tailplane, to the rear of the cabin. Odd, but very practical when beached.

The Aircruiser was a four-seat aircraft designed to complement the two-seat Victa Airtourer. The failure of Victa to win tariff protection saw the company exit the aircraft industry but the prototype Aircruiser was completed and the type certificated. The first flight was on 18 July 1966 but VH-MVR was not officially registered until 29 September 1967. The Aircruiser was among the assets sold by Victa to AESL in New Zealand and became the basis of the CT/4 Airtrainer. After 10 years in New Zealand as ZK-DAH, the sole Aircruiser returned to Australia and took up its former identity in 1979.

The A10 Wamira was an indigenous design for a two-seat, side-by-side, turboprop trainer to replace the Macchi MB326 trainers operated by the RAAF. Designed in the early 1980s, construction of a prototype was well advanced when the project was cancelled in favour of the Pilatus PC-9. The prototype was stored for many years at the RAAF Museum, Point Cook before being acquired by the Moorabbin Aviation Museum in 2019 to add to their impressive collection of Australian designed and built aircraft.

This original 1956 Cessna 172 (not even an A!) was originally N6027A. It was exported to Australia, becoming VH-RNZ with the Royal Newcastle Aero Club on 6 January 1961. Unfortunately it crashed exactly a month later(!), on 6 February, at Newcastle NSW. After a rebuild, the aircraft returned to the Register on 3 July 1963 as VH-SNU.
