The RAAF’s only Supermarine Wallrus is heading for the paintshop after being restored from a wreck. They expect to have the machine flying within the next year or so!
Just thought you might like to know!
May you find more mercy in Hell, cause you won’t get it from me!

Try the RAAF Museum’s website:

The Museum itself is situated at Point Cook airbase near Melbourne.

the fuselage looked pretty intact – I’m off to Australia soon, where abouts is it?

RE: Walrus heading for the paint shop!
I’m pretty sure that there is no intention for the RAAFM to fly this machine once complete.A restoration to ground running condition was talked about at one point,but airwaorthiness is not on the cards.
It is thought however that this static project might benefit any future plans to create/restore an airworthy example,due to the knowledge and parts brought together during this restoration.

Here you go Mirrors, before and after shots, I scaned them from the magazine “Australian Warship Review” where I got the info from!

Does anyone have a recent photo of this aircraft? I would also be interested to know the latest on G-RNLI, being restored in the UK.
