    Please consider uploading your own photos.

    Photos of roadside warbirds and museum collections are most welcome.
    Photos of aircraft as they are currently displayed are great, but photos of airframes in previous markings, with past owners or during a restoration are fantastic as well. You can help document the history of airframes with photos!

    Airframe: Taylorcraft-Auster J/5B Aiglet Trainer, c/n 3167, c/r VH-BNA
    Notes: 1963 photo at Parafield - the owner of VH-BNA flew all over Australia in it, taking movies of scenery and events, then lived a gypsy life showing his movies in halls in country towns for a small fee. He nicknamed the Auster -Banana - because of its reg, and promoted his movies as Adventures of Banana and me. He flew into Emu Field in 1967 to film the Parafield boys trucking the Mustangs out and filmed the first flight of A68-1

    Photo Date: On 1 January 1964
    Credit: Ed Coates Collection
    Date Uploaded: 9 August 2015
    Airframe: Percival E.P.9 Edgar Percival, c/n 28, c/r VH-EPN
    Notes: The EP-9 was designed by Australian-born Edgar Percival as a general utility aircraft. It was well suited to the crop dusting/spraying role. Super Spread sold VH-SSV to Doggett Aviation of Perth in 1962, and they had it re-registered into their block as VH-DAI. Alistair Coutts took the above shot of it in its original Doggett livery at York, WA on New Years Day 1964.
