This 2010 Seminole was briefly registered to manufacturer Piper as N23635 before being shipped to Australia. Reassembled at Moorabbin, it was registered VH-TYS on 20 December 2010. It was just passing through Colac on a Navex when I saw it.

This Drifter was added to the RAAus Register on 2 August 1996. In the model name, the 'SB' stands for 'Strut-Braced' (as opposed to wire-braced wings) and the '582' indicates it is powered by a 64 hp Rotax 582 two cylinder, liquid cooled, two stroke engine. As you can see, even in the height of summer it is often necessary to wear warm clothes!

This aircraft was imported new into South Africa in 1947 and registered ZS-ULS, later ZS-BRE. Sold in Namibia (South West Africa then) in 1949. Last flight in about 1969. Exported to Australia and registered VH-IDH(2) on 14 September 2001. Its first post-restoration flight took place not long before it was photographed at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's National Fly-in.

Loooking down Moorabbin's little-used, 571 m Runway 22 on the way round to to an early morning landing on 35R. I have fond memories of doing dumb-bell circuits on 04/22 one quiet evening twenty years ago, long before it was shortened to accommodate the factories in the foreground: back when airports were for aircraft, not factories and shopping centres!

This aircraft was built in 1965 as VH-CFM for the Civil Flying School at Moorabbin. When Beech Musketeers began replacing the Airtourers at CFS in 1967, the latter were re-registered in the VH-CT_ series. VH-CTM was converted in 1977 to take a 160 hp Lycoming IO-320-B1A engine and constant-speed propeller. Currently based at Atherton, north Queensland with my good friends Doug & Susie.

The Winton Grasshopper was one of the first generation of ultralights designed in Australia in the late 1970s following promulgation of the original ANO 95.10. The designer, Col Winton, used composites to keep the empty weight under 100 kg. This is a more modern version with an enclosed cockpit (the original was open).

It's funny what you find just sitting around at country aerodromes! This former Polish Air Force aircraft arrived in Australia and was stored, disassembled, at Bankstown in 1994-5. It was registered VH-REH(6) on 4 April 1995. I've never seen it before and by the look of it, it doesn't fly very often.

This 1975-model Sundowner was visiting from its base at nearby Dookie. It was first registered in Australia on 10 December 1976, formerly being N6786S (probably a trade-plate). It's actually VH-AHB(5), the earlier ones being a Leopard Moth, a Heron, a Tiger Moth and a Bell 47.

This aircraft was ordered in 1951 by the USAF, one of more than two thousand Texans rebuilt from earlier AT-6 and SNJ models. It was allocated a new cn and the serial 51-15202. It found its way to the Italian AF as MM53652, and was retired in 1979. In 1981 bought and shipped to the UK and stored until 1986 when shipped to Australia. Registration VH-ITN was reserved whilst a restoration project, but it was registered VH-YVI on 2 February 2001. It's first post-restoration flight was not until early 2011.

This lovely Cherokee E was allocated N3429R but it's not known whether it was actually worn. In any case it was registered, new, in Australia on 29 July 1970.
