Originally registered new in 1955 to Bush Pilots Airways, this Autocar became VH-WRH in 1960. In December 1968 it was re-registered VH-EOI, owned by the legendary Sid Marshall. De-registered in May 1975 when Sid died, it was returned to the Register in December 1976. Currently owned by my good friends Jeff and Pat from Broken Hill, it has just undergone a lengthy rebuild. I well remember a lovely evening flight in it at Charters Towers, back in 2001. Seen here at the AAAA Auster Rally.

This immaculate Tiger was originally built by DHA at Mascot with cn 189 and went to the RAAF as A17-188. Somewhere along the line it gained re-build cn T245. Post-war it came on to the civil Register as VH-AXH before being re-registered at DCA insistence as VH-BXH. It later became VH-RVH(2) with the Royal Vic Aero Club, sporting a canopy. Later still it became VH-SEC and is today based at Noarlunga, SA.

This is a replica of 'Britannia', New Zealand's first military aircraft. The original was presented to the NZ Government by the Imperial Air Fleet Committee in 1913. The aircraft made its first flight in Jan 1914 when Lt Joe Hammond took aloft Miss Esme McLennan of the Royal Pantomime Company. Hammond was sacked and the aircraft put in storage before being returned to the UK in Oct 1914. Replica built by David Comrie of Dunedin and displayed in the RNZAF Museum.

Yet another Aeronca to transfer to the RAAus Register! This 1946 Champion was originally registered NC1442E, later N1442E, before coming to Australia and being registered VH-EPZ on 22 December 1986. It was transferred to the RAAus Register on 1 January 2006, though it wasn't de-registered from the Australian Register until 2 May! Note that the aircraft still carries its US registration on the rudder.
