Just to get things started, I've got a first draft together of a page for the Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, as used by the Australian Air Force Cadets but there is plenty to add yet!

I've also added placeholders at http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/other.htm for the other types discussed in this thread.

Hi Folks,

Thanks to some correspondence from Michael Shepherd (a veteran of USN HC-7), we have been able to update the details for the following Kaman Seasprites:

RAN 151316

RAN N-29 Seasprite Page

RNZN 150152, 150154/NZ3444, 151333

RNZN Seasprite Page

Some of you might also have been following our thread on Australian Military Aircraft operated on the civilian register.

That has lead to the creation over the last few weeks of a brace of new pages.

They are:

Cessna 150

Cessna 172

Schleicher KA6

Schleicher ASK-13

Schleicher ASK-21

DG DG-1001C

Grob 102

Grob 103

Let Blanik L-13

Piper PA-25 Pawnee

Piper PA-28 Cherokee

Piper PA-38 Tomahawk

PZL SZD-51 Junior

PZL KR-03A Puchatek

Of course there is still a lot of work to go on all of these pages, and as ever your input is very welcome at question@adf-serials.com.au

Cheers

Folks,

We have made a quick update to the F-35 Page to reflect today's announcement of the purchase of 58 further F-35A airframes under Phase 2A/2B of Project AIR 6000.

CAF has also announced a 2020 IOC for F-35 for 3 SQN RAAF and FOC in 2023.

The classic Hornet withdrawal is planned for 2021-22.

At the other end of the spectrum, I have also added pages for the Cessna 172 and Victa Airtourer .

Just to make things a little more diverse, I have also updated the histories of Fairey Battles L4982 and L4985 at http://www.adf-serials.com.au/2a22.htm .

Hi All,

A couple of quick updates yesterday:

1. VH-NGA, VH-NGF & VH-NGH were added to the Australian Air Force Cadets DG Flugzeugbau DG-1000S page now that these new gliders are beginning to come on stream at Bathurst.


2. Thanks to SQNLDR Dave Burns, we fixed a broken link on the Caribou Page.

Cheers
