Hello,

Day 8 - 4th March was Port Adelaide, South Australian Aviation Museum. Another excellent collection.

WZ931 de Havilland DH-112 Sea VenomFAW.53 12773 M/877 Stored

The Anson and Sea Venom are under renovation / stored in the hangar to the rear along with the virtually complete rebuild of Battle N2188. A museum under expansion plans with the room to do so.

From there we then moved on to Parafield to Classic Jets Fighter Museum (where I narrowly missed stepping on a Red Belly between the hangars). Wakes you up, that.

A94-974 Commonwealth CA-27Mk.32 CA27-74
A3-16 Dassault Mirage IIIOA 29-16

45-11526 North American P-51D 124-48279 66 472505

Again looking to expand with possibility of larger unit across the runway on east side. Snakes not wiothstanding, two great museums.

Finally Edinburgh where the Mirage A3-115 was confirmed plus AP-3C A9-752 in the circuit. Then another day off.

Regards
Rick
