zebra Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) I went to an airshow at Tyabb near Melbourne today. Nice show, a mix of warbirds and aerobatic and vintage aircraft, including a Boomerang, Wirraway, Harvards, Trojans, the world's only flying Hudson, Mustangs, a Spitfire VIII, but the star of the show for me was this Avenger. Just three photos for now, might post more when I have a chance to sort through them all. Edited May 17, 2018 by zebra changed title 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for posting Zebra I have a soft spot for the Avenger to having seen one fly a few times over here at flying legends airshows. Considering it’s size it always looks quite agile to me. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Excellent pics. Would love to see the HUdson and the other CAC types myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hudson is a fine sight, we’re very lucky to be able to see it fly. There are quite a few airworthy CAC types in Australia - several Mustangs, Wirraways and Winjeels, the Boomerang (there’s another one but I’ve not seen in for a few years) and an Avon Sabre. On top of these there are a couple of Spitfires, a Hurricane and Fw 190 (not seem either of these in action yet), a few Kittyhawks, a Corsair (apparently still recovering from a belly landing). And I think someone in Queensland is restoring a Beaufort. So a pretty healthy warbird scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I have to agree, you are very lucky. Those are some beauties. I'd love to see the Boomerang and Wirraway. Nice pictures, cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
