Very impressive issue, Gordon and John. It must have taken a lot of research. Many thanks

I do not understand why photos cannot be posted in this part of the forum.
NOT Photo from FLIGHTPATH Volume 29 Number 4, May-July 2018 "The Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre (NAHC), after two years of intensive fundraising, has acquired Wirraway A20-722. Borg Sorensen restored the former RAAF CA-16 Mk.3 trainer after recovering its remains, along with remnants of A20-512 and A20-73, from a farm near Horsham in western Victoria in 1984. An exacting restoration culminated in the Wirraway, registered VH-CAC, flying again on 8 June 2002. The NAHC’s community liaison officer, John Deckert, said, “The centre launched its fundraising appeal in May 2016 with the hope of raising $300,000 for the Wirraway’s purchase. A very successful ‘Wheels for the Wirraway’ event was held at the Nhill Aerodrome in March and although the final target has not quite yet been reached, the NAHC Board has agreed that the time is right to bring the Wirraway to Nhill. This new addition to the centre’s collection will help show people what a training base was like during the war. We will have the three aircraft types used in here as part of the W.W.II Empire Air Training Scheme – the Tiger Moth, Avro Anson, and soon the Wirraway.” John has also informed Flightpath the Wirraway’s engine will be run at least monthly, and in future on ‘special days’ it will be possible to see both it and the Anson taxi under their own power. Tentative arrangements are in place for the Wirraway, the youngest surviving example, to fly from Tyabb on Saturday 28 April to become part of the historic display at the former Nhill W.W.II RAAF airfield. This will be the final flight for the aircraft and the NAHC hope a large crowd will be in attendance to take part in this historic event.
