Rear cockpit of the Wirraway. The rear seat could face forward for flying the aircraft or be rotated to face rearward as a gunner's position. This relatively early Wirraway had the real RAAF serial A20-81 and served with 5 SFTS. Retired in May 1957, it was sold for scrap. Rescued by Pearce Dunn and kept at his museum at Mildura 1975-80. Restored at Essendon 87/89 and Caboolture 92/95. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
