This is probably the sole remaining flying example of a Lockheed Hudson, used extensively as a light bomber and for coastal patrols in the early years of WW2. This is painted as an Australian Mk111 and flies at the Temora Aviation Museum in NSW. More photos (one with a Canberra) in the PiPs. Processed with ON1 software.

The sole flying Boomerang fighter fires up its engine at the Temora Aviation Museum. See PiP for the aircraft flying. Processed with ON1 software. The Boomerang was developed in some haste in Australia from the Wirraway (and Harvard) as the Japanese advanced during WW2. Before they went into action other fighters (such as the red-nosed Kittyhawk in the background) were available, so they were used for ground attack.

Very shortly after I post this, we'll be on our way. First stop is Singapore, then onward to England (briefly) before heading across to Norway for a Hurtigruten trip before returning to Oz via Oslo and Copenhagen. I expect our aircraft will be a few sizes larger than this. :-) Here's a matching link. Vintage Ryan STM S2 aircraft, at an airshow at the Temora Aviation Museum. Explored.

The aerodrome in the town of Temora was used during WW11 for training. It is entirely possible that an Australian-made Boomerang fighter, such as the one just starting in the foreground, Wirraway trainer (RHS) and Kittyhawk (LHS) may have met like this then ... but this is edited from an image taken at an airshow held there a few years ago (see insert). Temora now has an excellent flying aircraft museum. www.youtube.com/watch?v=He38LYmBvFw

WWII vintage Tiger Moth training aircraft being refuelled. This aircraft was actually based at Temora during the war, when it was a training aerodrome.

When I came to this site from F*r, I copied several albums across - but somehow I left many images on "private view" and not public. Time to fill the gaps! The Ryan STM trainer is just so evocative of the 1930s style. This musical link matches pretty well, even if it is from a slightly later period.
