    From memory it was in Moe..?
    I think I heard that it is now under restoration.
    There is a Liberator being restored down at Werribee. I looked over it a couple of years ago.

    From their site:



    I was annoyed with myself for losing/tossing out during a move some years back, a B24 ground crew aircraft erection manual that was about 3 inches thick.

    13-odd years ago, I remember a delta wing jet (Mirage possibly?) of some sort in a suburban house in Williamstown/Altona (Melbourne). You could see it over the fence. They had built a small shed/room over the cockpit IIRC.

    A couple of Grummans (I believe) in a paddock near Nowra.

    A private property west of the Blue Mtns, a bit north of Lithgow.

    I'm a photographer at Herald Sun and we are currently looking for people who have quirky things in their yards, especially airplanes. Could you give me the locations of these planes (the one in Wonga Park and the one north of Bendigo?)

    What have you got? Herald Sun might be interested in doing a story
