Beginning to climb after executing a touch and go off Rw 23.

Showing 76 Sqn tail markings, the other side of the tail carries the 79 Sqn markings.

Following on from the P-2 and then 14 P-3B, the RAAF operated 20 P-3Cs, extensively upgraded by L-3 Communications with new mission systems to AP-3C standard. The insignia of 10 Sqdn appears on the right of the tail, with 11 Sqdn on the left. The serial A9-753 is only painted inside the nose-gear doors. HARS have uniquely maintained the aircraft in flying condition having gained civil registration in 2018

Built in Britain as Canberra T.4 WT492 in late 1955 but transferred from the RAF to RAAF in mid-1956, serving with 2 SQdn, ARDU ((Aircraft Research and Development Unit, Woomera) and 6 Sqdn before becoming a ground instructional airframe at Wagga Wagga in 1964. Stored at Australian Aviation Museum Bankstown from 1983 and to HARS here at Albion Park in 2010 where external restoration was undertaken.

In July 1954 A94-901 was the first Sabre to enter RAAF service. It was the second Avon Sabre built following the prototype and served with various squadrons. From 1961 to 1965 it was part of the 76 Sqdn 'Black Panthers' aerobatic team based at RAAF Williamtown and was struck off charge in 1966, then used as a gate guardian at Fishermans Bend. After being displayed at the Mildura Warbirds Museum, Vic, it was externally restored by Hawker de Havilland at Bankstown, moving to HARS in late 2006

The last of a batch of twelve SP-2H Neptunes supplied under MDAP to Australia in 1962, allocated BuNo 149081 and becoming A89-281 on arrival for service with 10 Sqdn RAAF Townsville. Flown to Amberley for disposal at the end of 1977 and taken in by the Chewing Gum Field Museum, QLD for static display. Trucked to Archerfield Airport in 1990. Although registration VH-NEP was reserved it was not taken up and was eventually dismantled between 2003 and 2005 having been donated to HARS, becoming the third Neptune in the collection and providing spares for their flying aircraft.

Previously displayed at Perth, WA and Bankstown, NSW then to HARS in 2007 in taxi-able condition. Like A79-637 alongside and a number of other preserved Vampires, in the mid-1960s flew with the RAAF 'Telstars' aerobatic team.

Mounted near the HARS Museum entrance, this Macchi was used in the restoration to flight of A7-025 before being installed as a gate guard in its former 'Roulettes' team markings, colloquially referred to as the Fanta Can colours.

This interceptor Mirage was delivered in1966 and served with 75 Sqdn at Butterworth , Malaysia until late 1969, next going to 76 Sqdn at Williamtown for a few years and then 2OCU. Converted to a ground attack variant, it served time with 77 Sqdn before retirement in October 1987 with 4,015 hr on the airframe (initial expected design life was 1,500 hr) and was used as an apprentice training aid at RAAF Wagga Wagga before acquisition by HARS in 2015. Although still in potentially flyable condition, the intention is to return it to taxiing.

Developed from the civilian Victa Airtourer, the first of 50 Airtrainers built in New Zealand for the RAAF, delivered in January 1975. Operated by ARDU then 1 FTS and last flown in October 1992. After the withdrawal of the Airtrainer, the RAAF relied on contracting out its ab initial pilot training to BAe Systems, and such was the suitability of the type that production was re-commenced in 1991. BAe received 12 new-built aircraft, followed by 14 ex-RNZAF machines in 1999 and finally four bought from private owners in 2011, two of which ironically were from the original batch of RAAF CT-4As.

Allocated US serial 67-17179 but delivered to 9 Sqdn RAAF in 1968, later serving with the UN in Sinai and after transfer to the Army at the end of 1989, in the Solomon Islands. Retired to the RAAF Museum in 2007. Another source states that it crashed in Biak, Indonesia in 2007

Recorded as shipped from Saunders Roe at Cowes in mid-1943 and prepared by Qantas at the Rose Bay, NSW seaplane base. In 1947 HD874 was issued to the Australian Antarctic Flight (hence the yellow colours in which it is now displayed) but it was wrecked in a storm on Heard Island in December. The damaged hull was recovered in 1980 for the restoration completed in 2002. There is some doubt about identity as Saunders Roe-bulit aircraft had wooden fuselages but this one is metal; it is possible that the hull of Seagull A2-20 held in store from 1946 was substituted before the Antarctic mission.

Delivered in late 1964, A2-1020 was deployed to Vung Tau in Vietnam in 1966 with 9 Sqdn and in August that year, was involved in the most significant Australian action of the Vietnam War, resupplying surrounded Australian troops at Long Tan. When 9 Sqdn re-equipped with the more capable UH-1D, it returned to Australia in April 1968 for service with 5 Sqdn in the training role and from 1970 to 1983 was rotated around units at RAAF Williamtown, RAAF Pearce and RAAF Darwin on SAR duties. It returned to 5 Sqdn before becoming a ground training aid in 1984. Now shown in its Vietnam configuration.

In 1912, Airco acquired license production rights in the UK for all Farman models and manufactured at least 825 aircraft of Farman design, the bulk being about 650 MF.11s for the RFC and RNAS. In 1916, four of the MF.11s were shipped to the Central Flying School at Point Cook, Australia, where they were reserialled, this one from B2012 to CFS20. They were bought in 1919 as surplus and this one became G-AUCW, the 29th aircraft entered in the new Australian register in 1921, changed to VH-UCW from 1930. Stored from 1933, the remains entered the RAAF Museum in 1981, used in this restoration.

This is the first of 62 CA-25 Winjeels ("young eagle") to be built, making its maiden flight in February 1955. The earlier CA-22 design was revised to make spins easier to induce for training. The Winjeel's service was extended until 1975 when the Airtrainer took over, but a few were retained for Forward Air Controller work till 1984. 401 was taken on strength in August 1955 and served with 1 BFTS from early 1968, joining the RAAF Museum in 1977 for static display. Registered VH-NTY from 1988, it was flown as part of the RAAF's Historic Flight until 1995. Now back on static display.

Delivered in 1951, with 22 Sqdn then ARDU and 81 Wing from 1961. To Wagga Wagga as an instructional airframe in 1964

Built by de Havilland Australia in 1942 and originally intended for Rhodesia as DX800, but delivered to the RAAF and operated by 5 EFTS, Narromine in 1944. Post-war flew as VH-BFF, VH-DDW, VH-FHJ and VH-RTB before entering the RAAF Museum in 1999

The RAAF was one of the largest users of the Vampire with nearly 200 aircraft being built in Australia. The two seat T.35s were delivered between 1952 and 1954, serving till 1970. This example is actually a composite put together form various Vampires by the Maintenance Squadron at East Sale in the mid 1990s, said to comprise the wings and tail booms of A97-827 and the fuselage pod of A79-616. However the latter complete aircraft was exported to the US in 1970, so it may be safer to assume that this one is more 827 than anything else!
