This ex-RNZAF aircraft was purchased from New Zealand in 2001 after a 17-year restoration that hadn't been quite completed. It first flew in Australia in December 2002 and remained in primer/fake Zero markings until recently when it was re-done in these stunning and authentic US Navy markings.

Designed and built to an RAAF order, this Winjeel (aboriginal for Young Eagle) made its first flight at CAC's Fishermans Bend aerodrome on 19 April 1956 before being delivered to the RAAF as A85-420. It became an instructional airframe at the RAAF School of Technical Training at Wagga from 1980 to '96. It was then sold to warbird enthusiast Bob Eastgate and stored, fittingly, at Point Cook 1997-2001. Acquired by the present owner in 2003 and restored at Tyabb until 2005.

Designed to an RAAF order for a basic trainer to replace the Tiger Moth, this aircraft had its first flight at CAC's Fishermans Bend aerodrome on 8 Nov 1956. Following RAAF service as A85-440, it was delivered to the Hobart, Tas, branch of the Air Training Corps at Cambridge in 1976. In 1985 it was acquired by a private owner in Horsham, Vic, in 1985 and registered VH-HFM on 27 June that year. Later moved to Donald, then changed hands in July 1997 and moved to Boort.

'Connie' came down to Essendon for the airport's Open Day in 1996. The GPS lash-up on the central binnacle has since been replaced by a more engineered version and the soundproofing has been given a touch up, otherwise she still looks much the same. It's great to have this lovely aeroplane still flying.

Despite its current colourful but spurious colour scheme, this Argus was actually wartime production for the RAF as FK351, via lend-lease (ex USAAF 42-32155). After the war it was civilianised in the UK as G-AJXA prior to being exported to Australia. It was registered VH-CMB on 4 June 1954, with incorrect cn 362. Formerly based at Tyabb, it is now resident at Gatton, Qld.

Despite its current colourful but spurious colour scheme, this Argus was actually wartime production for the RAF as FK351, via lend-lease (ex USAAF 42-32155). After the war it was civilianised in the UK as G-AJXA prior to being exported to Australia. It was registered VH-CMB on 4 June 1954, with incorrect cn 362. Formerly based at Tyabb, it is now resident at Gatton, Qld.

This art deco-style Ops/Admin/Terminal building was opened in 1940 and originally had an all-glass Control Tower cab on the roof. Along with similar buildings at Brisbane/Archerfield and Sydney/Mascot, these were the first purpose-built Control Towers in Australia. The original cab was replaced by this modern one in October 1981. The building used to be also the passenger terminal, although it's no longer in use as such today.
