This Warrior is a bit unusual in being operated by the Royal Victorian Aero Club, although the Club doesn't own it. It was registered new in Australia on 19 May 1977. Since then it has apparently been fitted with a 160hp engine.

The relative distances give a misleading impression in this photo of the current and new Control Towers together - the new Tower is already higher than the old one. You can see that the first parts of the cab section of the new Tower are in place.

Owned by Moorabbin Aviation Services. This 1979-model Warrior didn't arrive in Australia until it was already a decade old, being registered VH-HMP on 1 June 1989. Originally it was one of the multi-coloured Civil fleet, if I remember rightly.

This aircraft was originally registered to Auster as G-AIGN on 4 October 1946. After a couple of months it was sold to a private owner, who re-sold it in Australia in November 1949. It became VH-BNP with the Royal Queensland Aero Club who later re-registered it in 'their' block as VH-RQK in 1958. In 1963 it was sold and re-registered again as VH-PUK. Modified with a Lycoming 0-235-C1 in 1973. Recently transferred to the RAAus Register and seen here at the AAAA Auster Rally.
