This is Crown Casino's 'high roller' transport, at its Tullamarine base. Replacing an earlier GIV of the same name and registered on 4 May 2007, it is the former N126CH. This 2004 GV seems to have had a chequered history as part of the CIA's secret 'rendition' programme, reportedly having had the previous identities N581GA, N379P, N8068V and N44982.

Part of the pilot's job is to leap out and stop the aircraft as it drifts past the pontoon! Returning from a joyride at the Seaplane Pilots' Association of Australia Splash-in at Lake Boga. This 1975 Skywagon was briefly N1207F before coming to Australia and being registered, new, as VH-TCK on 5 January 1976. It has been operated for a long time by Airways/Melbourne Seaplanes.

It's amazing what you bump into when you least expect it! This Two-Twelve is based at Melbourne/Essendon for the summer but here it was, overnighting at Bendigo. There have been big bushfires already this summer and the Jetranger and Turbo Dromader usually on standby at Bendigo were away at the fires, so maybe that was it.

This Aiglet was originally registered as VH-KAW to the Australian Auster agents, Kingsford Smith Aviation Service, at Bankstown on 18 May 51. A month later it was sold to a private owner, and changed hands again a month after that. It was struck off the Register on 8 March 57 but re-registered as VH-WFA on 9 Aug that year to Wagga Air Taxi & Flying School. From 15 June 63 it was re-registered again as VH-WWG. Currently based at Swanpool. Seen here departing after the AAAA's National Fly-in.

What a clever way to direct visitors to the aerodrome! Holbrook is a hot-bed of sport aviation, so this Sapphire on a pole is most appropriate. However, all that can be said about its identity at the moment is that it is NOT 19-3668 as marked.

Originally built as an Auster AOP V and allocated RAF serial MT108, this aircraft was civilianised post-war as G-ANGX. In November 1954 it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-AZJ. In 1959 it was re-registered as VH-DDW, and in 1960 became VH-BHA. It is actually the second Auster to carry that registration. Currently based in South Australia and seen here taking off at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.

The last 'true' Auster, the Beagle Terrier was a civil conversion from the military Auster AOP.6. Only 45 Terrier 2s were built, 64 Terriers in all, so this is a fairly rare aircraft. Seen here at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's National Fly-in.

There was a large Russian contingent at the Avalon 95 airshow, including the prototype, and so far only, of the Il 96M variant. This was a stretched version with P&W 2237 engines and western avionics. Quite an attractive design visually, it never took off (so to speak!). Currently in storage at Zhukovsky, less engines.
