    Hullo Macca, glad you enjoyed the HARS flypast. I watched the ABC TV coverage and you would never have known there was a flypast from that. Too much trouble to point a camera skywards.

    Hi folks, this is the only turret I’ve worked on, the HARS Black Cat. Credit for locating the turret must go to fellow poster Mark Pilkington.

    I quite like this one too. The HARS PBY6A VH-PBZ “Felix” taking off for her display at this years ADF airshow at RAAF Williamtown. With blisters and nose turret fitted she is starting to look pretty good.

    Hi folks, here is one that I liked of Matt Denning landing the Boomerang after his display at the January 2010 airshow at Temora.

    I do recall back in the mid 90’s Qantas engineers and I think their historical arm ( which is run by volunteers ) brought a Connie back from the US. Perhaps it is now at the Qantas museum in Longreach? If anybody has an answer would love to know. It would be worth to couple of thousand kilometer trip just to see her again. Chris.

    G`day Chris, although some of the HARS engineers who restored the Connie and flew it back to Australia were retired Qantas employees and Qantas did provide some sponsorship in the early stage it`s not a Qantas aircraft and it`s not at Longreach.
    The Connie is still flying and it`s located at the HARS museum at Albion Park airfield south of Wollongong, New South Wales and you would be most welcome to come along and see her.

    The only connection is its wearing Qantas colours it`s a purely HARS aircraft.
    Proctor is correct it`s a genuine warbird ex US military delivered US servicemen to Vietnam.

    Have to agree with you there. When I was a young lad I used to fly on her out to Kuwait. A bit noisy but wow what a lady. Are you aware that QANTAS has one still flying. She was in the US, restored and flown back to Australia?
    How I would love to fly in her now. Forget all these super aircraft of today, these were ‘the’ aircraft and will never lose their grace. Cheers. Chris.

    Sorry Chris, must disagree with you the HARS connie pictured in my previous post and ozters is the only Constellation flying in Australia and it has no connection with Qantas.
