    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
