Ron Lewis built this airworthy, full scale replica of John Duigan's 1910 biplane between 1984 and 1995. Duigan's biplane was the first Australian-built aeroplane to fly, at Mia Mia, Vic, and his original aircraft is held in the collection of Museum Victoria. Lewis died in 1995 before flight testing of the replica, VH-DGN(2), began at Mangalore. It was subsequently donated to Museum Victoria in 1999 by his family and is now suspended in the entrance foyer of Melbourne Museum at Carlton Gardens.

This Shrike Commander is perhaps unique in being fitted with supplementary hand controls to enable it to be flown by people with leg disabilities. Mirage Air is normally based at Moorabbin, so the aircraft was probably at Essendon for maintenance. It was built in 1978 and first registered in Australia on 23 March 1981.

This old Queen Air first came to Australia in May 1969 but looks like it hasn't moved for a while. Only 35 Queen Air 70s were produced, and this was the first production example. It was originally registered N8070R.
