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

This aircraft is actually A20-688 and was painted as that when first displayed. The correct serial was lost when it was repainted from a camouflage finish to a silver finish.

At the time of the photo operated by 12 Squadron which had been deployed to Darwin. The Wirraway was then a general purpose aircraft with a combat role and were replaced by Vultee Vengeances in October 1942. By then A20-7 was being used as a trainer in southern New South Wales. It crashed during a non-operational night patrol near the town of The Rock on June 12, 1945, killing the pilot. Photo from: Library and Archives NT

This was the day we rolled out Australia's oldest surviving CAC CA-1 Wirraway to the public on its 75th Anniversary. We were very proud of the restoration and the fact we brought the aircraft back to ground running condition again. Today it is safely undercover and preserved at the ANAM at Moorabbin Victoria.
