Delivered today. Came from Vietnam to Oz a number of years ago. In the hangar next to my Dog. I like it ’cause it ain’t a Willys/Ford ww2 machine – th 😮 ey’re cute but common.

Bit hard to pull the wings off the Invader [unless you’re doing forbidden aerobatics]..

Pics when it’s here. Don’t know about the GC crowd however..

EN830, let’s not go there. Many Australians fought for and died etc in service of our Pommy mates only to be told by one Winnie Churchill that all would be OK because “we have Singapore”. When that failed he said that we will help ‘after’ we sort out AH. Thank God for the USA in 1942….

It seems to me that either designation is very acceptable. Bobby Gibbs [Oz ace] told me that he’d never heard of a Bf 109 however he’d shot down and “flown” [Black 6 is really his war trophy – now give it back! :diablo: ] ME 109’s……. 😮

The Cat for HARS was flown all the way from Spain to be preserved in Australia as a flying memorial. A second Cat was recently imported into Western Australia to go on display also as a static memorial to the Cat operators in WW2 who flew from Perth. Both of these fine recovery efforts help the cause. If someone wants to pull an XYZ out of Russia/PNG/Alaska etc etc then go for it. The world is better for the time and investment of those who make it happen…

Simple solution – some folks need to put their money where their mouth is! We live in a democratic society [I’m lying about that!], so free trade is allowed. What is an aviation icon anyway???
