One of Air Link's two mini-dugongs catching the dawn sun at home base. This aircraft was built in 1999 and initially registered N848CA, operated by Commutair for USAir. When USAir became US Airways, the aircraft was re-registered N84802 in June 2000. In September 2001 it was exported to New Zealand where it was registered ZK-JNG and operated by Eagle Airways for ANZ. In March 2002 it was exported to Australia where it was re-registered VH-RUE to Hawker Pacific, Australian Beech Agents, on 27 March 2002.

Bacchus Marsh aerodrome looking south-east toward Corio Bay. This is a long-established gliding centre, and if you look closely you can see a glider and tug lined up on the grass glider strip alongside the main 01/19, near the displaced threshold on the sealed strip. Despite some recent rain, everything is very brown and dry!

Very basic cockpit on this diminutive and aptly-named Bébé (Baby), which was one of the first modern homebuilts in Victoria. Construction started in the late 1960s and the aircraft was registered on 5 April 1974. It's powered by a converted industrial, single mag VW and currently resides at Bendigo in the hands of the builder's son.

This historic Huey saw action with 9 Squadron RAAF at the battle of Long Tan during the war in Vietnam. Allocated the USAF serial 63-13588, but delivered new to the RAAF on 12 Dec 1964 (incidentally, just a couple of weeks before I was born). Based at Vung Tau from mid-1966. Returned to Australia in April 1968 and used in the SAR role with 5 Squadron until retired in June 1984. Allocated to the School of Radio at RAAF Laverton until 1993, then transferred to the RAAF Museum and restored 2000-02.

Just to confuse matters, this is actually the second Auster J/5 to be registered as VH-KSL, the original being SOR in 1957. This aircraft was imported new by the Australian Auster agents Kingsford Smith Aviation and registered as VH-KSP on 8 Nov 1948. For some reason it was re-registered as VH-KSL in 1992, VH-KSP being taken up by another newly-imported Auster J/5 a month later!
