Here's a formation you don't see every day! The RAAF Museum's Sabre, restored and operated by the Temora Aviation Museum, leads Temora's former Col Pay Spitfire VH-HET and the RAAF Museum's Mustang VH-SVU. This Avon-Sabre made its first flight in Nov 57. Allocated to the Malaysian Air Force in Nov 71. Obtained by 75 Sqn Butterworth in 77 for unofficial restoration to fly. Returned Aust for further work, reg VH-PCM in 88. Now re-restored and re-reg VH-IPN in reference to its Avpin starter.
