Query on A84-502/WT492

-502 is being re-painted in her 2SQN colour scheme and, yes, it’s the very same HARS.

G’day 😉

The two T.4s

501 and 502 both went to CFS at East Sale in Aust eventually.

I don’t have a complete record handy of either a/c, But have the following:
A84-502 (WT492) to 2 SQN at Amberley 28/5/56. In 4/57 to 6 SQN at Amberley (which became the OCU until 1 OCU formed in 1958), then to CFS. Eventually to RSTT Wagga for apprentice training, then to Historical Aircraft Restoration Society at St Marys, Sydney (unsure if connected to present HARS at Wollongong).

Now the two B.2 “pattern” aircraft for B.20 prodn WD939 and WD983 (which became A84-125 and -307) I know went to 2 SQN in late 1953/early 1954. At such early dates, I would presume they went straight to RAAF without prior RAF service. I guess the T.4s could be the same.

Canopy and CV windows.

Flushed with success we’re wondering if anybody happens to have a spare T4 canopy [with 2x CV windows], and a set of Navigator station windows, in serviceable condition.

G’day 😉

Thanks!!

Sincere thanks for the prompt reply!!

G’day 😉

Both WT491 and 492 went straight from EEC to Marshalls in October 1955 for preparation for the RAAF. Then to 15 MU for final fit in Jan 56; then ferried out to Australia.
