    MoveLater2 Avro Anson Restoration.....Nhill.

    We're up in the Mallee in Gracie for a few days, staying at Wycheproof.
    We'd read about an Avro Anson being restored at the WW11 Airfield at Nhill, so decided to drive over for a look.
    It was well worth it. The restoration is being carried out in a magnificent recently built hangar/display area, & is a real work of art.
    It is powered by two radial engines, one of which has already been rebuilt & run. The detail of the restoration is amazing.
    There are remains of WW11 buildings around the airfield, and plenty of other stuff to look at in the hanger. This is WELL WORTH a visit.
    Pickles.

    I am a member of Caboolture Warbird Museum and know only too well how much work is involved in an aircraft museum,and it is nice to see an Aggie being restored,will it be to airworthy condition,and they are lucky to have not 1 but 2 Links trainers

    Would be nice to see an Aggie at Temora in the coming years has it got an "A" number ?

    You may know a friend of mine, Bill Martin, from Wyreema, Nr. Toowoomba, He was involved in the restoration of the Boomerang which is at Oakey, and is currently assisting with a Kittyhawk resto.
    I don't know about an A number, but the plane's number is W2364. It will not fly, but will be able to taxi. I'm told that they can do anything they like with it, as long as the wheels don't leave the ground!

    Aah! Guido Zucoli's Boomerang I remember seeing it at a Caboolture airshow in the early 2000's,his widow still runs Aerotek at Toowoomba Qld,they have a nice warbird collection in their hanger, including a Grumman Avenger,when I was up there before Christmas, Caboolture museum houses 1x Wirraway, an SNJ,and a P51D Mustang, and Australian one too A68-110,but marked as another aircraft,also resident is a Beech Mentor,and the maintanance company manager has acquired a complete 1943 C47 with military history, this one should be in the air in 2 years

    cheers
