aardvark as well?

f-111 aussie pig/us aardvark
f117-wobbling goblin

i hadnt heard the little jeannie was up for sale let alone sold a great loss to the warbird comunity down here but also a great gain for the french she is a beutiful example of a late model p40 plus it’s a real warbird with actual combat history,the colours that she’s in are her orignal combat colours.

your right about the h6k but it hink your wrong about the ki 84 i think it’s more likley to be a ki 43 i dont think the indoneaians had any ki 84’s a few ki 43’s and one or two ki 61’s

i like the way the raaf museums douglas db7 has been restored as the last time it flew and i think for historicly important airframs this is the way to go, altho the awm has restored their wirraway by back dating it’s airframe mods to the way it looked when it shot down a nakijima ki43 it’s most important feat historicly.
so both ways have their advantages if the wirraway had been preserved as it last flew then it would have looked like any of a dozen wirraways that are around in the post war silver with the ca-16 chin scoop but now it tell of the struggle when australias first line of defense was a handfull of fighter trainers.
whilst the db7 is as the only raaf winner of the victoria cross in the pacific flew this plane on a couple of occasions a major part of raaf history.

jerry’s ki61 and 3 others have under restoration for a couple of years now hopefully the first one should fly in the next few years

the mb5
and the ca 15 if it was’nt for our “partners the us”stuffing around with which version fo the pw r2800 too use it would have flown at least 12 months earlier and made it into production and proved it self to be one of the great fighter of late ww11 and early post war,if it wasnt for the british it may have never flown at all.

the b24 that’s being restored only has the wings from png the fuselage and id came from an ex raaf one recovered from in gippsland(south easter australia).
it’s great to see the recoverys happening(inspite of mr taylon)as we need survivors from both sides,if it wasn’t for forward thinker like david and charles these thing would all be gone.
i hope theat swamp ghost is finally resolved soon as if it’s kept in the salt air to long it may not be worth restoring.
as to vegemite i hate the stuff it’ just an aussie saying when your very happy and all this japanese stuff makes me very happy:D
paul i might still be a little sick 😮 😉 as i like beaufighters more than mosquito’s:p
ps didn’t they also talk about the black pass b17
