Since I last photographed this helo in October 2007, it has been painted in this stunning 'Tiger' scheme for the 60th Anniversary of 816 Squadron, RAN Fleet Air Arm, in 2008. It's also sprouted an EO turret and various other EW lumps and bumps. Australia's first Seahawk made its first flight on 4 December 1987 carrying the Sikorsky flight test registration N7265H.

This Cessna 180 was built for the Australian Army. Allocated the 'trade-plate' N5040E for testing, it was delivered on 20 April 1959 and allocated the serial A98-340. It initially served with 16 AOP Flight and later with 161 Recce Squadron. Sold on 20 August 1975 to the Victorian Forestry Department and registered VH-TVA(2), but quickly on-sold. The current owner flew it extensively in New Guinea in the '60s and has plans to restore the former Army markings.

The cockpit of HARS' recently-acquired Pig - with a few panels replaced by dummies. This ex USAF F-111A combat veteran was acquired in May 1982 as an attrition replacement and modified to F-111C configuration. Later upgraded with AUP mods. On 3 December 2010 it was the last operational F-111 anywhere when it shut down for the final time.

Is the former A17-587 and has been on the civil Register since July 1947. It once sported a canopy, but has now been restored to near-original condition. Such a pity, then, that it is not stored under covers.

During the 1980s the annual Open Days at the Watsonia Army Base in Melbourne were always well-supported by an air element, including RAAF Chinooks of 12 Squadron. A15-012 was present at the 1981 display. Delivered new to the RAAF in March 1974, it was returned to the USA in September 1993 in a remanufacturing deal with Boeing and upgraded to CH-47D standard for the US Army, serial 93-934.

Dinner companion at Middlebrook. This aircraft has a long and interesting history, having been originally built to a 1951 USAF order as an L-18C Super Cub, 51-15414. It later went to the French Army as 181414, then was civilianised in Germany as D-EGWS before going to Denmark as OY-ECM and finally Australia as VH-ECN on 15 January 1981.
