Warbird movements coming to Australia in future

The Vietnam Veterans Museum in Victoria is please to let others know that they have been allocated and are in the process of acquiring a very rare A-1D Skyraider for their growing museum collection. This type of aircraft has never been displayed before in Australia.

The aircraft is according to President Gary Parker a ex French / ex Goa Air Force …..which was acquired from Singapore somehow. There is interestingly no BuNO on the airframe to track its history at present. No A-1D served in Vietnam with USAF or US Navy but the is very similar to the A-1E/G/H/J they were used in combat.

The other already known movement is of an equally rare A-6E Intruder which is unusual as none so far have been allowed outside US for museum displays (that im aware of) and this would be a first if so. The aircraft is a E model BuNo 160998 and has been allocated to the museum with logistics and funding to be worked through before it lands.

The RF-4C Phantom project is still been worked on but it is unresolved at this time.
They also lost a chance to acquire a A-4 Skyhawk.

We will keep you updated as the museum progresses with their allocated airframes.

Other equally interesting warbirds are expecting to arrive in Australia at some point i am told but at this time we all have to wait and see what the owners do with their exotic projects and …when they want to release the information publicly.
