The RAAF Museum's Avro 504K is a replica constructed from the original drawings by Hawker Restorations in the UK in 1999 using original fittings, instruments and Le Rhône engine. It is flyable and was registered G-BYKV. Painted as E3747, it represents one of the 20 received by the Australian Flying Corps in 1919 for the Central Flying School. Only one original Australian Avro 504 survives, E3-4 which was placed at the Australian War Memorial near Canberra as long ago as 1929

From 1949 to 1953, De Havilland Aircraft constructed eighty single-seat Vampires at the plant in Bankstown, NSW for the RAAF, using the more powerful Rolls-Royce Nene (built by CAC) rather than the Goblin in most Vampires. This is actually A-79-375 (restored using tail and booms from A79-733) painted as A79-876 in the Target Tug black and yellow paint scheme worn in 1955 before it was re-serialled A79-476. Coincidentally the Nene engine fitted is the actual one removed from A79-476. After its flying career it became an instructional airframe at Wagga Wagga and moved to Point Cook in 1977

This is actually CA-16 Wirraway A20-687 which was taken on charge by the RAAF in December 1944 and was modified for target towing. Post-war, it suffered four accidents before disposal to a private buyer in 1960 who may have intended to convert the aircraft for crop spraying. In 1968 it was taken to Moorabbin where over the next eight years a restoration was undertaken to represent a CA-9 Wirraway in the dive-bombing role. Moved on loan to the RAAF Museum in 1977, it was purchased in 1999

Michael Smith arrives on completion of his circumnavigation of Australia in SeaBear VH-OMS 'Southern Sun'. Michael departed RAAF Point Cook on 6 April to re-trace the first circumnavigation of Australia by air, by Wing Commander Stanley Goble and Flying Officer Ivor McIntyre in a Fairey IIID floatplane. Michael's objective was to re-trace their route as closely as possible in both stops and timing. His arrival at Point Cook, at 2.10pm, was 100 years to the minute from Goble and McIntyre's arrival in home 1924.

This aircraft one of 14 built against an order from Switzerland that turned out to be an attempt to beat an arms embargo on Rhodesia (Zimbabawe). After six years in storage they were bought by the RAAF at a bargain price. In 1991, A19-065 returned to NZ as ZK-EUN, which had been its ferry registration in 1981. Mike Madden photo
