Yes Jager, Corsair was en route to Tyabb from Pt Cook yesterday, with three pilots endorsed you should see it more often:))))

Recently (20th Jan) this happened!

At the start fo the day at the RAAF Museum today there was one Corsair pilot in Australia – at the end of the day there was three. Nick Cauldwell and Judy Pay (first and only female Corsair pilot in Australia) make up the trio. Image of Nick, Judy and Peter (instructor).

I find the below FB page is a useful place to keep tabs on the Oz Historical scene.

Corsair VH-III spends some time at Point Cook regularly it would appear, so would be a prime suspect.
