A former RAAF aircraft, A30-11 was one of several DC-2s that had had been stored next to Bankstown airport by aviation pioneer Sid Marshall. It was acquired in 1979 by the West Albury Rotary Club for a memorial to the original PH-AJU, which had landed in Albury under arduous conditions in 1934. Control surfaces were fabricated from sheet aluminium and other non-aviation materials were used in its assembly. Safety concerns due to corrosion forced its removal from display in the early 2000s. In 2017 A30-11 was being restored for a new Uiver Memorial in Albury.

After a considerable time in the holding pattern DC-2 'Uiver' entered the arena during the last Coventry Classic Air Show. The original crashed in adverse weather in Iraq on its second journey to Batavia, in December 1934. NC39165 redid the London-Melbourne-London journey during 1983-1984. In 1999, the Aviodrome museum acquired NC39165 from its owner in the U.S. and brought her to Europe once again. After several years of flying she was put on display indoors at Lelystad airport, although still airworthy.

Conair's Tanker 44 was originally delivered as a Convair 340 to United Air Lines in 1954 as N73153. It would keep that registration with various operators for more than 40 years, until it was purchased by Kelowna Flightcraft in 1999 for conversion to airtanker, and registered C-GEVC, then C-FFKF. It came to Alaska today to battle the Parks Highway Fire and is seen here in the evening light, arriving at Fairbanks to satisfy the customs people.
