    Warbirds down under

    Great day at the Temora air show.
    It was a fairly warm day. We moved out of the main exhibition area and around to the aero club due to crowd numbers, dust and heat.
    The air displays were excellent. Even though the Spitfire is a child hood favourite of mine the stand out aircraft of the day for me was the Vampire that baby can climb, its a very impressive plane for speed, NOISE, and looks, its not to shabby with aerobatics either.

    SENSATIONAL photos, THANK YOU.
    Wouldn't mind a few more,....I didn't know that there was a flying condition Catalina in Aus?
    I haven't been to Temora,..tried to get there a couple on a couple of occasions a few years ago, but I was not going to get my best car infested with Locusts, so I didn't go!
    Cheers, Pickles.

    It belongs to HARS out of Albion Park near Wollongong NSW ( Historical Aircraft Restoration Society Inc ) flew in from Portugal about 8 years ago in a very sad condition and has been restored to Australian "black cat" markings although the aircraft is actually an amphibian which were not the variants used for the "black cats" WWII Australian long range patrol aircraft.

    It attends lots of airshows around the country.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Thanks, I've been to Lake Boga & seen what they have there, but good to see one actually in the air.
    I believe that the one at Lake Boga has been "cobbled up" from various bits & pieces, but it does look the part, & the Museum, bunker etc are very good.
    Cheers, Pickles.

    The Museum at Lake Boga actually loaned the gun/observation bubbles off the sides of a Catalina to HARS so they could fit them up and eventually make servicable reproductions.

    Its good to see that the various Museums cooperate so closely.

    I've always wondered what happened to the Catalina in the lake at Catalina Park Katoomba?
